The Pattern of Global Trade: Opportunities and Challenges for the Emerging Economics Seminar 1: Global Trade Facilitation-Trends and Challenges April 9, 2014 10:30 -13:00 (CST) 11:30 -14:00 (JST) As the world economy becomes more globalized, the developing countries, which account for over 40 percent of the global trade, play an increasingly important role in global economy and trade.

Since the financial crisis, the global economic and trade pattern has been readjusted, and new rules of global trade, which pursue higher liberalization in business operation, investment and services, and emphasize more on fair competition and protection of rights and interests, have been established. The new pattern may to a large extent reshape the external environment of the emerging economies and reconstruct the global economic value chain, and thus may again repel the emerging economies, including China, to the edge of the international trade system.
