Recommendation

The World Economic Forum’s biennial report on global trade offers a much-needed benchmark for gauging regional and national progress in improving the various factors that facilitate trade. Editors Margareta Drzeniek Hanouz, Thierry Geiger and Sean Doherty highlight areas that authorities should focus on to bring about a list of commerce-boosting improvements. Their analysis is so stuffed full of facts and figures that, while it can be overwhelming to absorb, it serves as an essential reference guide on global trade. This level of information can provide businesses with a great starting place for assessing the advantages and disadvantages of almost any regional target market. getAbstract considers this report an essential addition to the ongoing global trade discussion among government and corporate leaders.

Take-Aways

  • The factors that facilitate cross-border trade vary widely across 138 countries.
  • The “Bali Package” of trade agreements approved by the World Trade Organization’s members is designed to achieve consistency in developing countries’ food supplies.
  • The Enabling Trade Index measures and ranks nations according to four areas: their “market access, border administration, infrastructure and operating environment.”
