WTO cuts world trade forecast by over 50%
The World Trade Organization has cut its forecast for global trade growth in response to rising interest rates that have dented consumer spending power in the US, Europe and Asia.
The World Trade organisation has halved its estimate for global exports growth this year - from 1.7% to just 0.8%. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, WTO director-general, said the projected slowdown was βcause for concern, because of the adverse implications for the living standards of people around the worldβ.
