World goods trade growth set to moderate as barometer index dips: WTO
World goods trade growth seems to have slowed in H2 2025 after an H1 surge, driven by frontloading of imports ahead of expected tariff hikes and by rising demand for AI-related products, the latest WTO Goods Trade Barometer shows.
It suggests trade volume is likely to grow slower in Q4 2025, but remain above trend.
Merchandise trade in H1 2025 saw a growth of 4.9 per cent YoY, stronger than expected.
