Just when an open trading system is needed more than ever to help nations cope with COVID-linked supply-disruptions, the system?s functioning is threatened by short-sighted thinking. In both advanced and emerging economies, trade and investment restrictions are springing up around the globe on medical equipment, food, and essential inputs ? more on the export than import side, it seems. Much of the policy has been set without a clear understanding of how manufacturing and agriculture production is actually organised in the 21st century.

Join Erik Berglof, Swati Dhingra, Simon Evenett and Pascal Lamy in this webinar that will discuss the impact of Covid-19 on global trade.
