UPS AND DOWNS OF GLOBAL TRADE DATA
QUICK UPDATES ON GLOBAL TRADE DATA
As per a Global Trade Data and Import-Export
Data report, it is found that the Global Trade Data hit a record high of USD
28.5 trillion in the year 2021. Developing nations contributed more as compared
to developed nations. According to the Global Trade update that was released by
UNCTAD, the trade of goods remained strong and became like the pre-pandemic
level only because of the developing nations who participated actively in
trading goods. Due to this active participation of the nations, global trade
reached a record high of USD 28.5 trillion in 2021, which is considered a rise
of close to 25% and 13% when compared with 2020 and 2019 respectively.
RISE IN TRADE DUE TO ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION OF DEVELOPING NATIONS
Based on a similar type of report, in
the last quarter of the year 2021, all economies were able to reach their
pre-pandemic levels by trading goods and services on a larger scale. On
analyzing further, it became clearer that the major contribution to the rise of
Global Trade Data was of developing nations.
A gap of 30% was noted between the
trade performed by developing nations and developed nations.
GROWTH OBSERVED IN MOSTLY ALL THE
SECTORS
As the Global Trade Data touched
its all-time high in the year 2021, every sector was affected by this and saw a
considerable amount of growth. The only exception to this was the transport
equipment which didn’t show much change due to the shortage of semiconductor
chips and semiconductors.
CURRENT STATUS OF GLOBAL
TRADE DATA 2022
As per the UNCTAD reports for the
year 2022, the Global Trade Data was reduced in the first quarter of the year
2022. Although the growth rates will be positive but will be marginal. In the
year 2021, the growth was due to the upliftment of covid restrictions, and
every business wanted to get supplies to fulfill demands, but in 2022 the
situation got stable to a big extent, hence causing a decline in Import Export
Data for that year.
So, it is evident from the reports,
that the trade growth in the year 2022 remained lower than expected. The IMF
has also revised its forecasts at the beginning of the year to match the growth
rates with its forecasts.
CONCLUSION
From the above insights and
statistics, it is evident that in the year 2021, the Global Trade Data and Import-Export Data went up high only
because it was the year in which Covid restrictions were lifted and life came
on track again. Marketers and traders across the world were interested to
refill their stocks and supplies to meet the demand of people and generate
extra profits. These rapid trading activities boosted Import Export Data of the
world. Till 2022, the situation got normalized, and hence the Global Trade Data
also declined.
In 2021 also, because of developing
nations, the Global Trade Data showed growth and a similar was the case in 2022
also.
