Recommendation

International trade, a main contributor to economic growth, has significantly reduced the ranks of those living in extreme poverty. But as globalization continues, countries must also consider the impacts their trade practices have on their domestic economies, social structures and the environment. This study from the Economist Intelligence Unit uses a sustainable trade index to rank a group of Asian countries on how well they promote responsible trade. getAbstract recommends this informative report to executives and trade policy officials.

Take-Aways

  • The Hinrich Foundation Sustainable Trade Index measures how well countries advance the long-term health of their economies, social structures and the environment.
  • Among 19 Asian nations, Singapore, South Korea and Japan lead the overall index rankings. Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan rank at the bottom.
  • National wealth and sustainability go hand in hand. Rich countries score higher on sustainability measures than poor ones.
