In the years preceding the Great Recession, global trade had been growing at about 1.5 times
the rate of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for about four decades, meaning that the
global trade-to-GDP ratio experienced an upward trend.

Many of those who attended Future Agenda discussions expressed the view that we are
witnessing the end of an era in international trade. Overall western markets are weakening
compared to the new opportunities from emerging economies.

Europe
There is general consensus that the Euro experiment
has had its day.
India
Many agree that in the long-run India’s demographic dividend will pay out.
Russia
Things are not looking good in Russia. Its population, although not ageing, is
expected to decline by 10% over the next decade; it has lost access to secure water
and food supplies which were previously available through its Former Soviet Union
neighbors and its economy is corrupt and dominated by state or quasi-state firms
whose revenues depend on political contacts rather than economic efficiency.
China
China continues to be a major global force, consuming a vast
array of commodities including over half the world’s production
of aluminium and nickel, over 40% of its copper, zinc, tin, steel and
lead and more than 30% of the global cotton and rice.

Middle East
There are multiple facets at play in the Middle East and
wherever you go in the region there are multiple opinions.
Latin America
Latin America’s economy began to slow in 2011 in tandem with a gradual fall in
global commodities prices.
United States
Lastly, and perhaps most significantly, we come to the US. Even though its
reliance on international trade remains one of the lowest of any developed
economy, it has been at the centre of a global trading framework since the end
of the Second World War.
Africa
Africa as a continent has, on average, grown its economy by at 5%
per annum over the last decade.

According to IMF and WTO figures, world trade increased six-fold from 1980 to 2015
while global GDP roughly doubled. As of 2014, the EU, China and the US were the leaders
accounting for 14.9%, 14.3% and 13.4% respectively, but the EU and US share of global GDP
was higher at 23.9% and 22.5%.

The role of money
in trade
Money enables people
to compare quickly and
easily the value of different
commodities, to easily
exchange one thing for
another, and to store wealth
conveniently and as such is
fundamental to all aspects
of trade, domestic and
international.
The role of currencies
At the same time, as money
is changing in order for wider
trade to flourish, there is a
growing need for new forms of
social interaction and ability to
communicate across cultures.

A new
geography
of talent
Across the world it is difficult for companies to recruit the right people for the right jobs.
Paradoxically many professionals can’t get work, finding themselves either with the right
skills in the wrong place or with the wrong skills to cope in an increasingly technical and
interconnected world.
Certainly,
efficiencies are
being made
across multiple
sectors and all
sorts of jobs,
from accountancy
to engineering
to nursing, are
being transformed
because of the
existence of
robotics and
computer science.

the top echelons of the

Standards
Driving
Trade
A good share of new international regulation is increasingly aimed at freeing up trade to
make it simpler and less bureaucratic. Whether at global or regional levels, governments
around the world are seeking to improve the trading landscape for the goods their country
produces, some more successfully than others.
With free trade
areas such as the
EU, NATFA and
potentially both
the TTP and TTIP
all restricting the
use of tariffs to
tax international
trade, alternative
ways for countries
to protect their
own interests have
gained ground.

Regional Alternatives
So, with global agreements
failing to progress, the
number of regional trade
agreements has grown
considerably - from around
70 in 1990 to more than 270
at the time of writing.
Role of Non Tariff Barriers
Within the global and local
trade context, there has
been a gradual shift away
from tariffs, in developed
economies but this has been
coupled with the introduction
of more so called ‘non tariff
barriers’ such as environmental
or safety standards which can,
in some cases, restrict imports.

Efficiency
Over the next decade, as trade continues to evolve, many see significant improvements
occurring in the overall efficiency of the system. At both global and regional levels, there will
be enhancements that reduce waste, improve transparency and smooth the flow of goods.
Supply chains
have evolved
into value webs
that span and
connect whole
ecosystems of
suppliers and
collaborators.
Simply by

people these
