STATISTICS: TRADE DATA DAY

Trade Data Day

Trade Data Day — co-organized by the International Trade Centre, the UN Conference on Trade and Development, the World Bank and the WTO — took place on 3 July at the WTO's Headquarters in Geneva. The seminar began by reviewing the main advances in trade and market access statistics and by looking ahead to future challenges. Two panels focused on: (1) the monitoring and analysis of non-tariff trade policy measures; and (2) trade and market access information systems on commercial services.
