Trade monitoring
Avant-propos du Directeur général
Depuis le début du millénaire, nous avons vu clairement que le commerce, en tant que moteur de la croissance économique et du développement, peut avoir des effets positifs sur la vie de chacun. La croissance économique rapide enregistrée pendant cette période dans de nombreuses économies en développement est allée de pair avec une intégration plus profonde dans le système commercial mondial. L’expérience a montré le rôle que le commerce peut jouer en contribuant à l’augmentation du revenu par habitant, en aidant les pays en développement à atteindre des objectifs sociétaux plus larges et en améliorant l’accès aux technologies modernes et aux connaissances ouvrant ainsi la voie à la croissance future.
Transformational factors shaping international trade
The world economy has undergone major changes in recent years, changes that are likely to persist and that will shape trade in the years to come. They bring with them many new opportunities and challenges for societies and governments. We will look at those changes we believe to be particularly transformative. Our initial focus is on how globalization, along with rapid growth in some regions and nations, has changed our world. We shall consider how production patterns have been transformed through the rise of international value chains. We also look at two dominant policy trends with far-reaching consequences – the explosion of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) and the rise of non-tariff measures (NTMs).
Cooperation with other international organizations
In 2014, the WTO cooperated with a variety of intergovernmental organizations, including the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Together with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the OECD, the WTO published reports on trade and investment developments in the Group of 20 (G20) leading developed and developing countries.
