Global Trade Outlook and Statistics
April 2024
The April 2024 edition of the WTO’s “Global Trade Outlook and Statistics” analyses recent global trade developments up to the fourth quarter of 2023 and presents the organization’s forecasts for world trade in 2024 and 2025. Breakdowns of merchandise and commercial services trade by sector and region are provided, together with details on leading traders
For the first time, the publication includes a special analytical section on a recent development in international trade. The analysis looks at how the conflict in the Middle East has threatened sea shipments through the Red Sea and Suez Canal, disrupting trade links between Europe and Asia. It takes a deeper look at the crisis and examines possible consequences for trade in 2024.
The report is timed to coincide with the release of the WTO’s latest quarterly and annual trade statistics, which can be downloaded from the WTO’s online database at stats.wto.org. An update of Global Trade Outlook and Statistics will be issued in October.
