• Global trade has contributed to growth and poverty reduction in the past three decades, but gains from trade can be more inclusive, according to The Distributional Impacts of Trade: Empirical Innovations, Analytical Tools and Policy Responses report. Spreading the benefits of trade more widely, within and between countries, can play a key role as the world seeks to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has reversed years of poverty reduction.

  New data and tools developed by the World Bank can allow policy makers to ensure trade delivers more for the poor, according to the report. By identifying in advance those sectors and regions that are most affected by changes in trade patterns, policies can be designed to maximize the gains and mitigate potential losses.

  At this seminar, the co-authors, Gladys Lopez-Acevedo, Lead Economist and Global Lead, Poverty, and Maryla Maliszewska, Senior Economist, Macroeconomics, Trade & Investment Global Practice, shared the main points of the report.

  Date/Time:

  8am-9am, Friday June 11, 2021 (Japan Standard Time)
