General assessment

General assessment of the macroeconomic situation 

After many years of weak recovery, with global growth in 2016 at the lowest rate since 2009, some signs of improvement have begun to appear. Trade and manufacturing output growth have picked up from a very low level, helped by firmer domestic demand growth in Asia and Europe, and private sector confidence has strengthened. But policy uncertainty remains high, trust in government has diminished, wage growth is still weak, inequality persists, and imbalances and vulnerabilities remain in financial markets.

Making trade work

> How to make trade work for all

International trade has been a powerful engine of global economic growth and convergence in living standards between countries. Trade liberalisation has contributed to large economic gains of emerging market economies and to poverty decline. Specialisation according to comparative advantage and, increasingly, technology-driven and deeper trade integration through global value chains have created new business opportunities and increased economic efficiency. Access to a wider variety of goods and services at cheaper prices has raised well-being and consumers’ purchasing power.

Evaluación general

Evaluación general de la situación économica

Durante los últimos cinco años, la economía mundial ha estado sumida en una trampa de bajo crecimiento caracterizada por un crecimiento decepcionantemente bajo estancado en torno al 3%. El persistente bajo crecimiento ha lastrado las expectativas futuras de crecimiento, reduciendo así el gasto actual y el crecimiento potencial del producto. La inversión y el comercio mundial han sido débiles, limitando los avances en la productividad laboral y en los salarios necesarios para respaldar un crecimiento sostenible del consumo.
