WTO members continued to implement more trade-facilitating than trade-restrictive measures. The estimated trade coverage of the import-facilitating measures recorded in the review period was more than double the import-restricting measures.

Governments, Non-State Actors and Trade Policy-Making
One of the most pressing issues confronting the multilateral trade system is the challenge posed by the rapid proliferation of preferential trade agreements. Plenty has been written about why governments might choose to negotiate preferentially or multilaterally but until now it has been written almost exclusively from the perspective of governments. We know very little about how non-state actors view this issue of ‘forum choice' nor how they position themselves to influence choices by governments about whether to emphasize PTAs or the WTO. This book addresses that issue squarely through case studies of trade policy-making and forum choice in eight developing countries: Chile Colombia Mexico South Africa Kenya Jordan Indonesia and Thailand. The case studies are based on original research by the authors including interviews with state and non-state actors involved in the trade policy-making process in the eight countries of this study.

Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2020
À l’ère numérique les états sont de plus en plus nombreux à adopter des politiques visant à stimuler la croissance par l’innovation et la modernisation technologique. Le Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2020 présente ces tendances et examine comment le commerce et l’OMC s’y adaptent. Le soutien à la transition vers une économie numérique a caractérisé les politiques publiques adoptées ces dernières années. Le commerce et les politiques commerciales ont toujours été des moteurs importants pour l’innovation. En particulier le système commercial multilatéral a largement contribué à la diffusion planétaire de l’innovation et des technologies en favorisant la prévisibilité des conditions du marché mondial et en soutenant le développement des chaînes de valeur mondiales. À mesure que les données deviennent un intrant essentiel dans l’économie numérique les entreprises s’appuient davantage sur des actifs incorporels que sur des actifs physiques et les entreprises numériques peuvent accéder plus rapidement aux marchés mondiaux sans devoir consentir aux importants investissements matériels qui étaient auparavant nécessaires dans d’autres secteurs. Dans le contexte de l’économie numérique le succès dépendra de l’ouverture de l’accès aux biens et services liés aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) de la collaboration dans les projets de recherche et de la diffusion des connaissances et des nouvelles technologies. Le Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2020 montre que la coopération internationale a un rôle important à jouer pour rendre plus efficace la poursuite du développement numérique et de l’innovation technologique tout en réduisant au minimum les retombées négatives des politiques nationales. Conclus il y a un quart de siècle les Accords de l’OMC se sont révélés remarquablement avancés en mettant en place un cadre favorable au développement des économies reposant sur les TIC quel que soit leur niveau de développement. La poursuite de la coopération internationale à l’OMC et dans d’autres instances permettrait de poursuivre l’innovation et de réduire les tensions commerciales pour contribuer à rendre plus prévisible le fonctionnement des marchés internationaux.
