UNCTAD: Global trade to rise 4% in 2026
Global trade continues to grow after reaching a record level in 2025, with an increase of 4.7% reaching $35 trillion. It is expected that the volume of trade in goods and services will rise by 4% in 2026, although the overall picture confirms that this growth reflects rising prices rather than an increase in trade quantities. Artificial intelligence products are leading the growth in trade, while trade between China and the United States has declined by more than 20% since 2024. Meanwhile, trade between East Asia and China, as well as North America, has increased. The United Nations also projects that global economic growth will decrease to 2.6% in 2026. Furthermore, advanced economies accounted for 70% of foreign investment projects in high-value sectors between 2020 and 2025, while developing economies have been impacted by energy shocks linked to the Middle East conflict, with development aid decreasing by about 7% in 2026.
