Trade monitoring
Report by United States
As we undergo our fifteenth trade policy review, the United States affirms that our priorities at the WTO and in the global trading system are more important than ever. We are leveraging our core values of fairness, inclusivity, growth, and sustainability to navigate the myriad complex challenges we find ourselves in today: a pandemic response, violent conflict initiated by one WTO Member against another, supply chain shortages, and environmental concerns.
Report by the Secretariat
The United States has a large economy that is highly integrated with the rest of the world. After a period of stable economic growth in 2018 and 2019, when real GDP expanded by 2.9% and 2.3%, respectively, the U.S. economy suffered the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Real GDP contracted by 3.4% in 2020 after 11 consecutive years of expansion. The economy experienced a rapid rebound in 2021, aided by the support packages put in place by the Government and by an easing of monetary conditions. This led to a real GDP growth rate of 5.7% in 2021.
