Trade

Our programme looks at ways international support can assist and develop the capacity of developing countries, especially low-income countries, to integrate into the global economy, provide for growth and alleviate poverty.

The promotion of regional integration through trade agreements is increasing. We support the interest and participation of developing countries in negotiations, as well as looking at the origin and practicalities of regional groups.

A range of multilateral trade issues confront policy makers and people in poor countries. Our work looks at issues including WTO negotiations; commodity price shocks; trade and food security; finance and trade.

We work closely with other renowned researchers and policy makers to provide high quality, independent analysis.
