520 3 |a This paper analyzes export performance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) using a gravity model applied to panel data. It addresses two questions: (i) are there significant unexploited export markets for the MENA region?; and (ii) have integration efforts with the EU since the mid-1990s yielded positive results?

Moreover, the impact of integration efforts with the European Union has been moderate overall but significant in individual cases.
