Conclusion
Les résultats de l’exercice de suivi et d’évaluation OCDE-OMC 2022 soulignent qu’il est nécessaire de renforcer l’Aide pour le commerce et de mieux cibler les financements. Ils confirment que la pandémie de COVID-19 a constitué un revers important pour l’intégration de nombreux pays en développement dans le commerce mondial et pour leurs perspectives de développement, notamment pour les pays les moins avancés (PMA).
Report by the WTO Secretariat
Since China’s previous Trade Policy Review in 2018, the country’s economy has been a major driver of global growth. Real GDP growth rates fell from just under 7.0% in 2016-18 to 6.0% in 2019 and 2.3% in 2020. Growth is projected to reach 6.0% again in 2021, as economic activities are expected to normalize. China’s GDP per capita was USD 11,710 in 2020, up from USD 9,976 in 2018. The long-term structural changes in China’s economy, away from agriculture and industry towards services, continued during the review period. Services now make up some 55% of GDP. Remarkable progress on poverty alleviation has been achieved over the past decades, resulting from high GDP growth rates and market-oriented reforms.

This eighth Trade Policy Review of China has indeed allowed us to better understand the important developments in the economic, trade and investment regime of China over the last three years.

Introduction

Elle favorise l’intégration des pays en développement, en particulier les PMA, dans le système commercial multilatéral et vise à dynamiser le soutien pour renforcer les capacités du côté de l’offre et l’infrastructure liée au commerce dans ces pays afin d’améliorer les résultats commerciaux.
Introduction
Aid for Trade seeks to enable developing countries, and in particular least-developed countries (LDCs), to use trade as a means of fostering economic growth, sustainable development and poverty reduction. It promotes the integration of developing countries, especially LDCs, into the multilateral trading system and aims to galvanize support to build supply-side capacity and trade-related infrastructure in these countries to improve trade performance.
Foreword
The successful conclusion to the WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12) is an important step towards a stronger and more effective multilateral trading system. MC12 shows that the WTO delivers results for the benefit of people around the world. MC12 has also highlighted the important role of the WTO in addressing the problems of the global commons in areas such as the environment and food security and in acting in the interests of members across different levels of economic development.
Conclusion
The results of the 2022 OECD–WTO monitoring and evaluation (M&E) exercise underline the need for more Aid for Trade and for better-targeted financing. They confirm that the COVID-19 pandemic was a significant setback for the integration into world trade of many developing countries and for their development prospects, especially for least-developed countries (LDCs).
Executive summary
Trade objectives feature prominently in the development strategies of developing countries. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, trade remains a development priority. This is the strong message that emerges from the 2022 Aid for Trade monitoring and evaluation (M&E) exercise, conducted jointly with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
