What the source reported
Source-reportedGlobal trade is projected to grow by 4% in 2026, although slower than the previous year. The report indicates higher trade values resulting from energy price increases and export controls. Trade between China and the US has decreased significantly, while East Asia is expanding trade with both regions. Developing economies, particularly India, are expected to drive notable growth despite overall global economic slowdowns.
