The World Trade Report 2014 looks at how four recent major economic trends have changed how developing countries can use trade to facilitate their development. These trends are the economic rise of developing economies, the growing integration of global production through supply chains, the higher prices for agricultural goods and natural resources, and the increasing interdependence of the world economy. The Report also looks into what role the WTO plays
Have integrated increasingly into the global economy, thereby opening opportunities for countries still lagging behind. However, important barriers still remain
Integration into global value chains can make industrialization in developing countries easier to achieve, and upgrading to higher-value tasks within these supply chains can support further growth. However, competitive advantage can be lost more easily and achieving upgrading can be challenging
Higher prices for agricultural goods and natural resources have helped some developing countries achieve strong growth but higher prices can cause strains for net importers of these goods
Growing interdependence within the global economy allows countries to benefit more quickly from growth in other parts of the world but it can also cause challenges, as crises can be quickly transmitted across borders
Many developing countries still have a long way to go in addressing their development challenges. The multilateral trading system provides developing countries, and particularly least-developed countries, with unique opportunities to do so. Further progress in the Post-Bali Agenda would therefore be important to making trade work more effectively for development
