Aid for Trade

Aid for Trade flows to developing countries rebounded in 2012, the latest year for which figures are available, with commitments rising 21 per cent after sliding 14 per cent in the previous year. Africa was the region that benefited most but overall flows to least-developed countries (LDCs) declined. WTO members discussed preparations for the Fifth Global Review of Aid for Trade on “Reducing Trade Costs for Inclusive, Sustainable Growth”, to be held from 30 June to 2 July 2015.
