BREAKING: Under current tariffs, goods trade is forecast to fall 0.2% in 2025, 2.9 pp less than baseline. Downside risk of reciprocal tariffs & broader uncertainty could lead to sharper decline of 1.5%. Services trade also affected. #GlobalTradeOutlook: bit.ly/42ud1ak

II thought my reading days were over when I started my Master's program a few months ago—but instead, studying has only made my 'want-to-read' list even longer. Just added Finnegans Wake. Not sure where I am going from here. #StudentLife

When I said it was possible to create a simple explainer about comparative advantage, many didn’t believe but @mmevite.bsky.social up the challenge, found the most incredible locations and delivered this.
It pays to be different in the global economy. That’s the essence of comparative advantage, a 200-year old concept.

New platform, same mission: making trade work for everyone.

The WTO is now on Bluesky. We’re here to connect, share, and discuss how global trade can be smoother, more predictable, and accessible to all.

Working on an assignment for my masters and suddenly realizing how much worse the "multiple tabs" problem can become when you work with two monitors, several desktops and two browsers (because some websites only open on Chrome, and logins for several services are easy on Safari). Help. #StudentLIfe

Great to follow European Council President Charles Michel's lecture at the WTO today. I like he adds trade alongside trust and transformation as essential to make multilateralism work.
