Growing threats to global trade
After an era of hyperglobalisation in the 1990s, there has been a clear change in policy and public attitude toward global trade.

It considers the effect of the pandemic and geopolitical pressures due to the conflict in Ukraine, and warns that protectionism could make the world less resilient, more unequal, and more conflict-prone.
