Section outline

  • The annual Trade and Development Report provides the latest on the global economy, offering analysis and data on the state of the world economy and current developments. Through UNCTAD's lens, the Report analyses conditions of global growth, trends in international trade and in key markets, evaluating growth prospects, financial and fiscal constraints and policies to safeguard policy space in developing economies.

    The second session will present TDR analysis of global trends, focusing on lessons on global integration stemming from the Global South. This session will concentrate on responses to crises, building economic resilience, strategies for enhancing productive capacities, adding value, and promoting economic diversification.

    By the end of the short course, Geneva-based delegates are expected to gain knowledge on:

    • Current trends in the global economy, international trade and key global markets
    • A deeper understanding of shifts in global integration and governance of policy space
    • Strategies for building resilience and crisis response
    • Approaches to enhancing productive capacities, adding value, and promoting economic diversification that center on equitable and sustainable development
