Highlights of the Global Trade Update<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Challenging Year for Trade in 2023<\/strong><ul><li>Global trade experienced a 3% decline to USD 31 trillion in 2023 after reaching a peak in 2022, driven by reduced demand in developed economies and weaker trade in East Asia and Latin America.<\/li><li>Trade in goods fell by 5%, while trade in services grew by 8%, primarily fuelled by a nearly 40% surge in tourism and travel-related services.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Issues Faced by Developing Countries<\/strong><ul><li>Developing countries witnessed a sharper decline in trade, with imports and exports falling by 5% and 7%, respectively, compared to a 4% drop in imports and 3% in exports for developed nations.<\/li><li>Most regions experienced negative trade growth in 2023, except for a significant increase in intra-regional trade in Africa.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Trade in Environmental Goods<\/strong><ul><li>Despite the overall decline, trade in environmental products rose by 2% in 2023, driven primarily by soaring sales of electric cars, with trade in electric vehicles growing by 60%.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Signs of Stabilization by End of 2023<\/strong><ul><li>The final quarter of 2023 showed signs of stabilization, particularly in developing regions, with most sectors witnessing a rebound, although trade in apparel continued to contract, falling by 13%.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Outlook for 2024<\/strong><ul><li>The forecast for 2024 is generally positive, with GDP growth expected to continue at around 3%.&nbsp;<\/li><li>However, logistical challenges and geopolitical tensions pose risks to the optimistic outlook, potentially disrupting supply chains and increasing costs.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Political Proximity of Trade<\/strong><ul><li>Over the last two years, there has been a noticeable rise in the political proximity of trade, indicating a preference for bilateral trade between countries with similar geopolitical stances.&nbsp;<\/li><li>This trend has led to a concentration of global trade to favor major trade relationships.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Observations on Trade Dependency<\/strong><ul><li>Despite efforts to reduce dependency on China through initiatives like the PLI scheme and QCOs, India saw an increase in imports from China.<\/li><li>The Russia-Ukraine conflict caused significant trade reorientation, with Russia&#8217;s trade dependency on China increasing and decreasing with the EU.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Government&#8217;s Response<\/strong><ul><li>The Ministry of Commerce and Industry stated that detailed analysis revealed favorable trade dynamics, with India&#8217;s
