WTO report nds Global trade resilient following one year of war in Ukraine

GENEVA - A new WTO information note released recently reports that global trade remained resilient and performed better than pessimistic predictions for 2022 as economies greatly affected by the war in Ukraine found alternative sources of supply. For the longer-term outlook, new WTO simulations show the importance of strengthening the multilateral trading system, with least-developed countries likely to be hardest hit if international cooperation weretobreakdown.

The note titled “One year of war in Ukraine: Assessing the impactonglobaltradeanddevelopment”estimatesthattrade growth in 2022 was above the WTO trade forecast of 3% issued in April and substantially higher than its estimates for more pessimistic scenarios for the year. The stability of global trade was also evident in global supply chains, confirmed by the 4% year-on-year growth of trade in intermediate goods in the secondquarterof2022.

“Global trade has held up well in the face of the war in Ukraine. Despite the devastation we have seen one year on, trade flows remained open. We have not seen the worst predictions foreseen at the onset of the war. Sharply higher food prices and supply shortages have not materialized thanks to the openness of the multilateral trading system and thecooperationgovernmentshavecommittedtoattheWTO,” Chief Economist Ralph Ossa said. “Resilience will ultimately be best served by fostering deeper and more diverse international markets, anchored in open and predictable traderules,”hesaid.

Russia's exports expanded by 15.6% in value terms because of an increase in prices particularly for fuels, fertilizers and cereals. However, estimates suggest Russia's exportvolumemayhavedeclinedslightly.
