The flagship publication of the WTO Secretariat, examining what the multilateral trading system has delivered over 80 years and where it is facing challenges, offers evidence relevant to ongoing efforts to keep trade rules fit for purpose. The multilateral trading system has delivered enormous benefits over the past 80 years, helping to create a more integrated and resilient global economy,- said WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. "The evidence shows that around 72% of global merchandise trade still takes place under the WTO's most-favoured-nation terms, while WTO-led trade cooperation has supported economic growth, helped narrow income gaps between developing and advanced economies, and contributed to peace among members."
