Overview
Weaker demand in the developed countries limited the expansion of international trade in 2007. Consequently, world merchandise exports grew in real terms (that is, at constant prices) by only 5.5 per cent, compared with 8.5 per cent in 2006.
Trade Policy Reviews
The Trade Policy Review Body (TPRB) reviewed the trade policies and practices of 24 WTO members in 20 meetings in 2015. By the end of 2015, the TPRB had carried out 429 reviews involving 151 of the 162 WTO members.

Évolution du commerce mondial
Un renforcement de la production mondiale en 1999 a inversé la tendance à la baisse du commerce mondial au premier semestre de 1999 et a entraîné une forte expansion des échanges pendant le second semestre. Pour l’ensemble de l’année, la croissance réelle du commerce mondial est restée inchangée par rapport à l’année précédente et a été inférieure au taux moyen enregistré tout au long des années 90. Bien que la croissance du commerce soit demeurée plus rapide que celle de la production mondiale de produits de base et celle du PIB mondial, l’écart entre les taux de croissance est resté en 1999 inférieur à celui qui a été observé pendant la période 1990-1997.
