Trade Restrictions in 2016 to Reach 2009 Levels – Just Wait for 2017

China 2999 G20 34 Global 1389 Politics 153 Tariffs 1818 Trade Deals 1002 U.S. 5347 USMCA 456 WTO 114

The WTO’s assessment of G20 trade shows a slowing in new measures both restricting and facilitating trade. Yet, it looks like 2016 could be the most ‘net restrictive’ year since 2009. The recent U.S.-sponsored WTO panel to assess 11 Chinese export restrictions may add to the pile. Next year will likely see major new restricting measures from President-elect Trump’s trade policies, with China-led deals in Asia providing leadership on trade facilitation.
