According UNCTAD, the value of world trade increased by about $ 1 trillion in the first quarter of this year, reaching $ 7.7 trillion compared to the same period last year. This growth represents an increase of approximately $ 250 million from the previous quarter. Mainly due to higher commodity prices as trading volumes increased at a much lower rate.
UNCTAD said trade growth is expected to remain positive, but slowed further in the second quarter of 2022 on July 7. The report added that rising interest rates and the phasing out of stimulus measures are likely to adversely affect the remaining trade volume in 2022. Both commodity price volatility and geopolitical factors will continue to uncertain trade development. Trade growth continued to be strong in the first quarter of 2022, but declined slightly in East Asia and the Pacific, according to the report.
