Driving Global Trade for Development

The global, rule-based trade regime that has helped pull more than a billion people out of poverty in recent decades is under pressure. Critics blame it for the loss of manufacturing jobs, environmental degradation, and disruptions to supplies of vital goods like food, medicine, and energy. Geopolitical tensions are rising. As a result, major players are raising barriers to trade and foreign investment while offering subsidies for domestic production. The question now facing policymakers, business leaders, and international organizations: Can globalization be reshaped to accommodate legitimate national concerns while maintaining trade as an engine of green, inclusive, and resilient development? What are the new opportunities for developing countries to leverage trade for development? Join us for a discussion hosted by the World Bank and the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
