It is a world of rapidly shifting markets characterized by changing patterns of trade, investment and opportunity. The developing world is increasingly becoming an important driver of the world's economy; South-South and intra-regional trade are growing rapidly; supply chains are changing; and opportunity exists in an environment where business flows in every direction.http://www.intracen.org/New-World-Order-Shifting-Markets-in-Trade-Investment-and-Opportunity/24/02/2011 06:33:45 PMWith the prospect of recovery from the global financial crisis, enhanced by stimulatory spending by national governments, there are forces at work that will assist in developing a sustainable recovery, although some lingering risks remain. Emerging markets can play a key role by continuing to strengthen their participation in global trade and investment with parallel measures aimed at stimulating domestic demand.http://www.intracen.org/Balance-Harmony-and-Sustainability-in-Uncertainties-Trends-of-Development-of-Global-Economy-in-the-Post-Crisis-Era/24/02/2011 06:33:33 PMThe sustained rapid growth of many African economies over the past decade and a half, bolstered by resilience during the recent global economic crisis, has been appreciated more by the countries of the South than those of the North, the traditional source of much foreign investment in Africa.http://www.intracen.org/What-are-Chinese-and-Indian-Firms-doing-in-Africa/24/02/2011 06:32:59 PMWith increasing globalization and technological developments that enable business processes independent of location, many countries around the world have become attractive sites for Western companies. While access to cheap labour was previously the dominant motivation, nowadays emerging markets compete more on availability and scalability of skills. The global services market has become highly competitive, and differentiation of service offerings and leverage of inherent advantages, including cultural and language affinities, set the scene for keen competition between offshoring destinations.http://www.intracen.org/New-Opportunities-in-Global-Outsourcing/24/02/2011 06:31:44 PMThe considerable expansion in South-South trade, especially in the last decade, is seen as an exciting new phenomenon with a number of developing countries among the major trade partners. Trade and investment ties between South Africa and Brazil in particular have been strengthening, underpinned by the reach and influence these two countries enjoy in their respective continents. Despite short-term setbacks due to the global financial crisis, differing comparative advantage in products produced in the two countries provides many opportunities for expansion in two-way and regional trade and investment.http://www.intracen.org/South-Africa-and-Brazil-Furthering-South-South-Trade/24/02/2011 06:31:07 PMThe World Trade Organization's (WTO) World Trade Report 2012 takes a fresh look at non-tariff measures (NTMs).
