(Keystone-ATS) In 2026, it should again increase by 2.5%. The analysis for this year is close to the one who had been made on the evening of the announcement by the American president Donald Trump additional prices, suspended for 90 days. The WTO then spoke of a decline in the trade of goods of 1% for this year. From now on, this figure is reduced to 0.8%.

The WTO expects a decline of 81% of the commercial volume between the States and China. More broadly, global uncertainty more could cause a reduction in the trade in goods by 0.7 additional points.

Before these tensions, the WTO started rather on an increase of approximately 3%. All regions undergo the impact of the current situation, according to the organization.
