ADAPTING TO POST-CRISIS WORLD TRADE
PATTERNS, AND LESSONS FOR EXPORT
DEVELOPMENT
9-12
September 2010 - Chongqing, China
The global economic crisis has
caused import demand from OECD
economies to compress by as much as
30 per cent. This necessitates a
fundamental rethink of the export
strategies followed by developing
country exporters.
China presents a unique case study
of export-led growth, with profound
and sustainable poverty reduction.
It has proven its resilience as an
exporter throughout the crisis, and
furthermore created an audacious
stimulus package with sector and
industry specific measures aimed
towards rebalancing its economy by
boosting domestic demand. Against
this background, the International
Trade Centre is delighted that the
Ministry of Commerce
of China, the
China Council for the Promotion of
International Trade and the City of
Chongqing, the 4th municipality of
China, have agreed to host the 11th
World Export Development Forum (WEDF).
The Forum will look at the
strategies employed by companies,
trade support institutions and
policy makers to mitigate the
negative impacts of the crisis, by
building company resilience through
the diversification of markets and
product as well as service
development strategies. The Forum
will also look at lessons that can
be drawn from the resilience of
China and other countries for
developing and transition countries.
Join 300 global business experts to
address the means of adapting to the
new market reality
– building strengthened positions
for both the current and future
markets. Check out the
programme.
