Shaping the Future of Trade and Global Economic Interdependence
Vea el resumen
Working to support debate and collaborative action on international trade and investment for recovery, growth and sustainable development.
The COVID-19 pandemic adds a massive shock to global markets that were already strained by trade tensions. Going forward, actors must contend with a trade landscape where business face significant uncertainty, and governments are looking to minimize the economic fall-out on citizens.
Our Platform works with a range of stakeholders to inform business and policy debate on critical trade and investment issues. We drive practical collaborative steps for growth and development, critical now more than ever.
The Platform currently focuses on trade shocks, tensions and governance; digital trade; new questions around industrial policy, tax and competition; investment and trade facilitation to poorer nations; and embedding sustainability into the future of value chains.
