Importancia creciente de los países en desarrollo en la economía mundial
Una de las características más sobresalientes de la economía mundial durante los últimos años ha sido el papel cada vez más importante que han desempeñado las economías en desarrollo. En esta sección se examina el modo en que muchos países han registrado un crecimiento económico impresionante durante el último decenio, logrando avances notables en la lucha contra la pobreza. Algunos de esos países son ahora productores y exportadores punteros de productos manufacturados, productos agropecuarios y servicios comerciales, en algunos casos eclipsando a economías industrializadas. Ese es el caso en especial de las grandes economías en desarrollo, que han pasado a ocupar lugares más destacados en foros internacionales tales como el G-20.

This Trade Policy Review has provided an excellent opportunity for us to better understand China’s trade and investment policies. I would like to thank, once again, Vice Minister Wang Shouwen and his delegation for their constructive engagement throughout this exercise. I would also like to thank our discussant, Ambassador McCormick, for his insightful remarks; and the more than 60 delegations which had taken the floor for their active participation.
Foreword
This volume is a joint project of the International Labour Office and the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization. The International Chamber of Commerce Research Foundation provided funding, for which we would like to express our appreciation. This work follows up on two prior joint publications by the ILO and the WTO Secretariats – a review of the literature on trade and employment in 2007 and a report on the linkages between trade and informal employment in 2009.
Comprendre l'OMC
Il y a plusieurs manières de considérer l’Organisation mondiale du commerce. C'est une organisation qui s'occupe de l'ouverture commerciale. C'est une enceinte où les gouvernements négocient des accords commerciaux. C'est un lieu où ils règlent leurs différends commerciaux. C'est une organisation qui administre un ensemble de règles commerciales. L'OMC est essentiellement un lieu où les gouvernements Membres tentent de régler les problèmes commerciaux qui les opposent.
Report by the WTO Secretariat
Zimbabwe’s renewed commitment to fiscal discipline and its de facto adoption of the U.S. dollar as legal tender as a result of the implementation of its multi-currency system in February 2009 have brought some encouraging signs towards macroeconomic stabilization. Nevertheless, Zimbabwe’s economy is still in a fragile state with high unemployment, depleted international reserves, and unsustainably high external debt, including a major accrual of arrears. A fractious socio-political environment, combined with a controversial land reform and measures in favour of indigenization, has triggered the withdrawal of support from the international community and cast a shadow over property rights, thereby undermining the business environment, with a devastating impact on Zimbabwe’s economic performance and social indicators over the past decade.
Message from Director-General Roberto Azevêdo
Following the success of the 10th WTO Ministerial Conference in Nairobi in December 2015, we saw a significant rise in engagement in many areas of our work in 2016. The year was defined by robust discussion among members on a wide range of issues and a notable rise in interest from other stakeholders.
Tendances du commerce mondial: Regard sur les dix dernières années
La croissance du volume du commerce mondial des marchandises a ralenti en 2016 pour s’établir à 1,3%, contre 2,6% en 2015 car le marasme persistant de l’économie mondiale et la faiblesse des prix des produits de base ont eu un effet négatif sur la demande mondiale d’importations.
