Webinar 2: Emerging issues in trade policy formulation and implementation
This webinar is organized within the online course on trade policy frameworks delivered by UN Trade and Development. It will explore the emerging issues in trade policy formulation and implementation in today's economic environment, including beyond tariff areas such as services, global value chains and investment.
Mr. Craig VanGrasstek will provide his insights on the changing U.S. trade strategy and moderate the session.
There will be a special focus on new market access cooperation beyond tariffs and the potential of non-reciprocal trade preferences for achieving such cooperation, drawing on UNCTAD's recent publication Trade Preferences Outlook 2024.
This report provides reflections on the possibility of new forms of market access cooperation, which complements trade preferences to foster developing countries' productive and technological capabilities, thereby facilitating their export diversification.
