Terapia para el comercio
Language: SpanishPublication Date: February 2023More LessLa pandemia de COVID-19 ha expuesto las ventajas e inconvenientes que supone el comercio internacional de bienes y servicios médicos. El comercio abierto puede aumentar el acceso a los servicios y bienes médicos –y los insumos esenciales necesarios para fabricarlos– mejorar la calidad y la variedad y reducir los costos. Sin embargo, una concentración excesiva de la producción, la adopción de políticas comerciales restrictivas, las perturbaciones de la cadena de suministro y las diferencias en materia de reglamentación pueden poner en peligro la capacidad de los sistemas de salud pública para responder a las pandemias y a otras crisis sanitarias. Trade Therapy: Deepening Cooperation to Strengthen Pandemic Defenses, un trabajo coordinado por Nadia Rocha y Michele Ruta, del Banco Mundial, y Marc Bacchetta y Joscelyn Magdeleine, de la Organización Mundial del Comercio, ofrece nuevos datos sobre el comercio de bienes y servicios médicos y las cadenas de valor de los productos médicos, analiza la evolución del panorama de las políticas antes y durante la pandemia y propone un plan de acción para mejorar las políticas comerciales e intensifi car la cooperación para hacer frente a futuras pandemias. Ante la persistencia de la pandemia de COVID-19, las medidas de política se centran en la respuesta, que incluye medidas encaminadas a eliminar los estrangulamientos y proporcionar ayuda pública para promover un acceso equitativo a las vacunas. Según va remitiendo la emergencia, el centro de atención debería desplazarse a la prevención y la preparación. Debe darse prioridad a la adopción de medidas para colmar las lagunas de información, sobre la base de la labor del Grupo de Trabajo Multilateral de Líderes contra la COVID-19, el Acelerador ACT y la apertura de los mercados, por ejemplo, mediante la negociación de reducciones arancelarias para los bienes médicos y el mayor acceso a los mercados para los servicios. También son importantes las medidas destinadas a aumentar la efi ciencia de los mercados, entre ellas, la armonización de las normas a través del reconocimiento mutuo o la equivalencia normativa y la elaboración de normas internacionales aplicables a los bienes, insumos y procesos de producción médicos de carácter esencial. Un acuerdo sobre un conjunto de normas para situaciones de crisis que pueda utilizarse en caso de emergencia, y que incluya límites claros y convenidos sobre la fl exibilidad de la política de exportación, así como normas compartidas sobre fl exibilidades en materia de propiedad intelectual, proporcionaría una base normativa más sólida para hacer frente a los desafíos futuros.

Textiles and clothing in Asian graduating LDCs
Language: EnglishPublication Date: January 2022More LessThe textiles and clothing sector has been a key driver of export growth in least-developed countries (LDCs) that are on the path of graduation, especially from Asia. Graduation from LDC status would imply loss of LDC trade preferences. This report, a product of inter-agency collaboration, examines impacts of graduation for Asian graduating LDCs; it looks at market access scenario after graduation, the nature of their participation in global value chains and business insights, including at the firm level. The report also offers a forward-looking perspective to ensure a smooth transition from LDC status. It sheds light on possible strategies to maintain market access after graduation and to support industrial upgrade and economic diversification. In addition, the report points to other factors affecting export potential of textiles and clothing, including increased attention to environmental and social standards. LDC-focused development assistance could play an important role in supporting these countries with bolstering the overall competitiveness of their textiles and clothing sector.

Thérapie par le commerce
Language: FrenchPublication Date: February 2023More LessLa pandémie de COVID-19 (coronavirus) a mis en lumière les avantages et les inconvénients du commerce international des produits et services médicaux. Un commerce ouvert peut favoriser l’accès mondial aux produits et services médicaux – ainsi qu’aux intrants essentiels nécessaires à leur production –, améliorer la qualité et la variété de ces produits et services, et réduire les coûts. Toutefois, une concentration excessive de la production, des politiques commerciales restrictives, des perturbations des chaînes d’approvisionnement et des divergences réglementaires peuvent compromettre la capacité des systèmes de santé publique à se préparer et à répondre aux pandémies et autres crises sanitaires. La publication Thérapie par le commerce : Approfondir la coopération pour renforcer les moyens de lutter contre les pandémies, coordonnée par Nadia Rocha et Michele Ruta à la Banque mondiale, et par Marc Bacchetta et Joscelyn Magdeleine à l’Organisation mondiale du commerce, contient de nouvelles données sur le commerce des produits et services médicaux et les chaînes de valeur de produits médicaux, examine l’évolution du panorama des politiques avant et pendant la pandémie, et propose un plan d’action visant à améliorer les politiques commerciales et à approfondir la coopération internationale pour faire face aux futures pandémies. Alors que la pandémie de COVID-19 perdure, l’action politique se concentre sur la réponse, qui inclut des mesures visant à promouvoir l’équité vaccinale grâce aux aides publiques et à supprimer les obstacles en la matière. Une fois l’urgence passée, l’accent devrait être mis sur la prévention et la préparation. La priorité devrait être d’adopter des mesures pour combler les lacunes d’information, s’appuyant sur les travaux de l’Équipe spéciale multilatérale des dirigeants chargée des vaccins, des traitements et des produits de diagnostic contre la COVID-19 et de l’Accélérateur ACT, et d’encourager l’ouverture des marchés, notamment par la négociation de réductions de droits de douane pour les produits médicaux et l’amélioration de l’accès aux marchés pour les services. Il convient également de prendre des mesures pour accroître l’efficacité des marchés, notamment l’harmonisation des réglementations grâce à la reconnaissance mutuelle ou l’équivalence des normes, et l’établissement de normes internationales applicables aux produits et intrants médicaux essentiels et aux processus de production. Un accord sur un ensemble de règles de crise à appliquer en cas d’urgence, qui comprendrait des limites claires et convenues concernant la flexibilité de la politique d’exportation ainsi que des règles communes sur les flexibilités relatives à la propriété intellectuelle, constituerait une base politique plus solide pour relever les défis futurs.

Trade finance in the Mekong region
Language: EnglishPublication Date: December 2023More LessCambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Viet Nam – the so-called Mekong-3 - have experienced rapid trade growth over the last ten years. However, growth could be boosted even further by improving access to trade finance, such as loans and guarantees, for locally owned businesses seeking to trade globally. This publication presents the results of two surveys undertaken by the IFC to determine the level of trade finance available to businesses in the Mekong region. An analysis of the data conducted by the WTO explores the potential impact of an expansion in trade finance and how this could lead to greater integration into world trade and more inclusiveness, with increased participation in global supply chains by small businesses and women-owned enterprises. The publication is intended to serve as a guide to how domestic financial sectors can reorient their operations to support cross-border trade and enhanced access to global markets.

It also outlines ways of removing obstacles to credit facilities and of unleashing the trade potential of the region.

Trade for Peace Programme
Language: EnglishPublication Date: February 2025More LessCan the flow of goods, services, and ideas build bridges where conflict once prevailed? If so, under whatcircumstances? The World Trade Organization (WTO) stands for a predictable, rules-based system based on the principle of non-discrimination. When the predecessor to the WTO – the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade – was established some 70 years ago, conflict among nations was at an historic low, following World War II. In the changed global political landscape of today, geopolitical tensions, disruptions to trade and increasing concerns about economic inequality have come to the fore, challenging the foundations of multilateral trade relationships, and trade cooperation more generally. Pathways to Sustainable Trade and Peace is the first WTO publication dedicated to an in-depth exploration of the complex relationship between trade and peace. The publication examines a number of critical questions. How do trade and peace interact? Can trade be leveraged to foster economic development and stability? What can governments and other stakeholders do to foster positive interaction between trade and peace? The volume focuses specifically but not exclusively on fragile and conflict-affected economies, including case studies and analyses from various policy angles.

Trade in Knowledge
Language: EnglishPublication Date: March 2022More LessTechnological change has transformed the ways knowledge is developed and shared internationally. Accordingly, in the quarter-century since the WTO was established, and since its Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights came into force, both the knowledge dimension of trade and the functioning of the IP system have been radically transformed. The need to understand and respond to this change has placed knowledge at the centre of policy debates about economic and social development. Recognizing the need for modern analytical tools to support policymakers and analysts, this publication draws together contributions from a diverse range of scholars and analysts. Together, they offer a fresh understanding of what it means to trade in knowledge in today’s technological and commercial environment. The publication offers insights into the prospects for knowledge-based development and ideas for updated systems of governance that promote the creation and sharing of the benefits of knowledge.

Trade policy in a pandemic
Language: EnglishPublication Date: November 2025More LessThe COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the integral role of international trade in responding to the global health crisis. All communities depended to some extent on trade for medical products, related services and vaccines. In particular, the pandemic accentuated the mutual benefit from the core principles of the multilateral trading system, especially the benefits of open and well-functioning international production and supply chains, and non-discriminatory measures. This publication looks into the WTO’s response to the pandemic in terms of four key areas: monitoring the flow of goods related to COVID-19, working towards a coordinated and effective international response to the pandemic, conducting policy and statistical analysis with other intergovernmental organizations, and analysing the lessons learned from the pandemic to shape a blueprint for future international cooperation. The publication examines how WTO members negotiated a framework to guide and consolidate the WTO’s response to the pandemic, to enhance the flow of practical knowledge, and to help render the multilateral trading system better prepared for future crises. Negotiations resulted in the Ministerial Declaration on the WTO Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Preparedness for Future Pandemics adopted at the 12th Ministerial Conference in June 2022. The importance of this work was confirmed in the Ministerial Declaration issued in March 2024 at MC13, which encouraged relevant WTO bodies to continue their work on reviewing the lessons learned from the pandemic and on building effective solutions in case of future pandemics.
