About the event
COVID-19 has infected over 2 million people and killed some 150,000 worldwide, and has already plunged the world into a global recession. While claiming lives and ravaging economies, the pandemic is exerting pressure on governments to embrace protectionist policies, including various export restrictions on medical supplies. From disrupted supply chains to shortages of PPE, the trade aspects of this international crisis are bringing to the fore both the demand for a unified global response and the deficit in the multilateral trading system. In a joint statement issued after the G20 leaders met at a virtual conference in March, the trade ministers pledged to take “immediate necessary measures” to facilitate trade in essential goods and incentivize additional production of equipment and drugs. If countries continue to take emergency measures out of national interest as coronavirus hits, global trade could fall by a third, warns a recent WTO forecast. In the face of a global challenge, will the WTO rise to the occasion and fulfill its mandate of promoting free trade?
