Global trade starts 2025 on stable ground, but new risks loom: UNCTAD
Though global trade started the year on stable ground, new risks loom, including trade imbalances, evolving policies and geopolitical tensions, UNCTAD said. The gap between developing and advanced economies is widening. Asia and Latin America are key trade drivers, but growth has slowed in many advanced economies. South-South trade is holding up, and intra-Africa trade is shrinking.
