报告摘要

World trade and GDP growth exceeded expectations in 2021, with merchandise trade volume projected to increase by 10.8%.
Despite this, global economic risks remain, highlighted by regional economic divergences, supply chain disruptions, and rising COVID-19 cases.
G20 economies demonstrated restraint in new COVID-19 trade restrictions, though their trade coverage remained significant, nearly double that of trade-facilitating measures.
The G20 stockpile of import-restrictive measures has steadily grown since 2009, accounting for 10.41% of G20 imports.

Global merchandise trade volume is expected to grow by 10.8% in 2021 and 4.7% in 2022.
Trade recovery is diverging by region, with Asia experiencing the strongest performance and Africa and the Middle East lagging behind.
Digital services and commercial services are still suppressed due to travel restrictions.

Non-COVID measures: 126 measures were recorded (trading at similar monthly levels as 2020). Import-facilitating measures decreased in trade coverage to 0.27% since November 2014.
Trade Remedies: The average number of anti-dumping and countervailing investigations decreased, while safeguard measures increased slightly. G20 economies continued using these tools.
COVID measures: By mid-October 2021, 18 export restrictions and 85 trade-facilitating measures remained active. Trade coverage of COVID-19-related measures was significant (USD 144.9 billion).

Most restrictive measures focused on telecommunication, financial services, and investment regulations.
Brazil introduced business-friendly reforms. China imposed restrictions on foreign participation in education services.
Services trade recovery is hampered by border restrictions. Only a few new COVID-19-related measures were reported.

G20 economies refined their IP frameworks, including China's new Patent Law effective June 2021.
Specific IP measures were adopted to facilitate access to COVID-19 health technologies.
Active participation in the TRIPS Council on IP waivers and flexibilities during the pandemic highlighted ongoing discussions.
