VISION STATEMENT

Vision of the future of international trade statistics

Responding to demands of policy makers for more information on international trade and its relation to global value chains, employment, environment and the interdependence of economies, the participants of the Global Forum on Trade Statistics identify the following points of improvement.

  • Improve the relevance of international trade statistics by connecting trade information and integrating it with its economic, social, environmental and financial dimensions whileminimizing the response burden.
  • Improve the statistical production process by better defining and organizing the co-operation among national stakeholders
  • Improve international classifications and correspondence tables relevant for research on international trade and globalization, such as research on trade in value added, on global value chains and on outsourcing of business functions.
