Outlook for 2020

In April 2020, WTO economists estimated that world trade would fall between
13 per cent and 32 per cent in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted
normal economic activity and life around the world. Subsequent tracking of
trade developments suggests that the decline may be closer to the optimistic
scenario but worse outcomes are still possible if there is a resurgence
of the virus.

Statistical reporting

Statistical reporting has faced a number of challenges in the wake of COVID-19,

with delays in some countries providing trade data. Hence, it is too early to
quantify the effect of the pandemic on world trade. In addition, the system
for classifying goods has not been sufficiently granular to pinpoint all goods
related to tackling COVID-19.

Note : Breaks in the continuity of the value series for particular countries and regional groupings are indicated by an 'I'. They result mainly from changes in the methods of collecting and reporting merchandise trade
statistics.
It should be noted that the World and Asia totals contain a significant element of double counting due to the use of the general system of recording merchandise trade statistics which includes re-exports.

Note : Breaks in the continuity of the value series for particular countries and regional groupings are indicated by an 'I'. They result mainly from changes in the methods of collecting and reporting merchandise trade
statistics.
It should be noted that the World and Asia totals contain a significant element of double counting due to the use of the general system of recording merchandise trade statistics which includes re-exports.
Recent figures for a number of countries and territories have been estimated by the Secretariat.
(1) Includes significant imports for re-export.
(2) Imports are valued f.o.b.

presented for the United States in the tables A63 and A63 which refer to sales of foreign affiliates operating in the services sector. For instance the latter include sales of goods of foreign affiliates whose primary activity is
classified as a service industry but not the supply of services of those whose primary activity is classified as a manufacturing industry.
