WTO Cuts 2025 Global Trade Forecast, Predicts 0.2% Decline Amid U.S.China Tariffs

Instead of predicting 2.7% growth in global commercial trade in 2025, the World Trade Organisation WTO now predicts a 0.2% fall. With North American exports predicted to decline by 12.6%, the U.S.China trade war is mostly to blame for the decline. The WTO cautions that reintroducing reciprocal tariffs might result in a 1.5% decline in global trade, which would further affect the least developed nations. It is anticipated that the disruption in U.S.China trade will cause Chinese exports to shift to other areas, thereby intensifying rivalry. In 2024, India accounted for 1.8% of global merchandise exports and 2.8% of imports. Although there are still dangers, the WTO predicts a 2.5% trade rebound in 2026. Read More..
