Commerce, dette et finances
En 2010, le Groupe de travail du commerce, de la dette et des finances s'est encore penché sur le problème de la pénurie de financement du commerce due à la récente crise financière. Il a aidé les Membres à mieux comprendre les causes et la localisation de cette pénurie, il a examiné les plans nationaux visant à stimuler l'offre de crédits et de garanties en matière commerciale et il a servi d'enceinte pour examiner — et soutenir — les initiatives du Secrétariat de l'OMC . Il a notamment servi de cadre aux discussions entre les Membres de l'OMC et le Groupe d'experts sur le financement du commerce convoqué par le Directeur général.
Report by the WTO Secretariat
The United States’ economy has been marked by slow but steady recovery and some re-balancing since its last Review. Merchandise and services trade figures have re-bounded significantly since the 2009 financial crisis and have now reached new peak levels, surpassing previous 2008 peak levels. Services trade in particular has shown a growing trade surplus, and services account for approximately 70% of U.S. output. The United States has set in motion policies for domestic and international rebalancing; i.e. moving away from consumption and real estate and encouraging export and investment growth.
