Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan

May 16-17, 2019

Overview

Today, there is a transition from the dominant liberal order, on which the modern world economy was founded, to a more populist, protectionist and nationalist platform. In economic terms, this is largely characterized by the rebalancing of global trade policy, after a nearly thirty-year hyper-globalization cycle, the driver of which was the world trade. The WTO and the global trading system were severely hit, the future of the WTO as an effective coordinator and arbiter of world trade does not look promising at the present time and trade wars and protectionism will impede its functioning.
