1、 Global economic and Trade Development
In 2020, the growth rates of real GDP, nominal GDP and purchasing power parity GDP of the world's major economies showed a downward trend. Different from the three categories of GDP growth of emerging markets and developing economies in 2019, the growth rates of real GDP and purchasing power parity GDP of emerging markets and developing economies in 2020 were better than those of developed economies, However, the nominal GDP growth performance is weaker than that of developed economies, which may be due to the obvious inflation caused by the loose monetary policy adopted by developed economies to avoid economic downturn in 2020.
Novel coronavirus pneumonia and trade friction had a significant impact on the scale of Global trade. In 2020, the scale of global merchandise and service trade declined sharply and showed the following characteristics: after the first decline in 2019, the decline of the commodity trade situation in 2020 was aggravated. Meanwhile, the import performance of developed regions was better than that of developing areas, and the export performance was worse than that of developing areas. Novel coronavirus pneumonia and trade protection were more obvious in service trade, and showed a significant regression. And import, export and developed regions were better than those in developing areas in service trade, which still existed in 2021. The international maritime transport service trade shows a similar trend to the service trade, showing a comprehensive backward trend. In terms of trade structure, the existing pattern of global commodity trade will be further consolidated in 2020, and the scale of trade deficit in developed regions and trade surplus in developing regions and emerging markets will be significantly expanded; Although there has been no significant change in the pattern of Global trade in services, the trend of changing the pattern of trade in services has been further deepened due to the tightening of technology exports in developed regions. Specifically, the scale of trade surplus in developed regions and the scale of trade deficit in developing regions and emerging market economies have further decreased, and the downward trend of trade deficit in the latter two is more obvious. In addition, in terms of international maritime transport service trade, although the economies of the three categories have shrunk, the downward trend of surplus in developed regions is more obvious.
