Composition, definitions & methodology
WTO members are frequently referred to as “countries”, although some members are not countries in the usual sense of the word but are officially “customs territories”. The definition of geographical and other groupings in this report does not imply an expression of opinion by the Secretariat concerning the status of any country or territory, the delimitation of its frontiers, nor the rights and obligations of any WTO member in respect of WTO agreements. The colours, boundaries, denominations, and classifications in the maps of this publication do not imply, on the part of the WTO, any judgement on the legal or other status of any territory, or any endorsement or acceptance of any boundary.
El estado de la economía y el comercio mundiales en 2010
El PIB mundial a tipos de cambio de mercado aumentó un 3,6 por ciento en 2010, un año después de una contracción sin precedentes del 2,4 por ciento que acompañó la crisis financiera en 2009. La producción de las economías desarrolladas aumentó un 2,6 por ciento en 2010, tras caer un 3,7 por ciento en 2009, mientras que en el resto del mundo (incluidas las economías en desarrollo y la CEI) aumentó un 7,0 por ciento, en comparación con el 2,1 por ciento en 2009 (véase el cuadro 1).
Aide pour le commerce
L’Aide pour le commerce continue à mobiliser des ressources internationales. D’après les données les plus récentes dont on dispose, les engagements ont baissé de 14 % en 2011, à 41,5 milliards de dollars EU, mais ils se situent encore 57 % au-dessus de la période de référence 2002-2005. Il s’agit toujours d’engagements « additionnels », c’est-à-dire d’un nouveau financement et pas de fonds transférés d’autres programmes d’aide. Le thème du quatrième Examen global de l’Aide pour le commerce, qui s’est tenu en juillet, était « Se connecter aux chaînes de valeur ». En décembre, la Conférence ministérielle de l’OMC a renouvelé le mandat donné au Directeur général de mener des actions de soutien à l’Aide pour le commerce.
