Navigating the New Realities of Global Trade
McKinsey&Company | By Tari Ellis, Alan FitzGerald, Nadia Terfous, and Yassir Zouaoui | Apr 2018
The long-term future of global trade will be reshaped by technological shifts and changes in international trade policy.
During the two decades before the 2008 global financial crisis, the world economy seemed to be on an irreversible course of ever-deepening globalization. Global trade expanded nearly eightfold in the 1990s and 2000s and doubled as a share of global gross domestic product (GDP). However, governments and companies around the world are now facing new uncertainties concerning the future growth of trade. While the volume and throughput of goods and services trade have continued to grow in the aftermath of the crisis (reaching historic highs in 2017), the value of these flows has declined over the last two years. As a share of GDP, trade has fallen from about 30 percent in 2009 to 2014 to about 27 percent in 2016, and it is not expected to grow in the coming years based on the forecast from the World Trade Organization. These trends and forecasts are raising questions about the future role of trade as an engine of global economic growth.
The long-term future of trade will be shaped by great global changes, including rapid urbanization, the rise of a consuming middle class in emerging economies, geopolitical complexities, and the evolution of international financial flows. However, two trends stand out with respect to the degree of uncertainty surrounding their future impact—these include ongoing technological shifts and a changing international-trade-policy climate.

Changing technologies will continue to have a profound effect on the pace and composition of trade growth. At the moment, while established technologies, such as bar codes and containerization, may have already achieved most of their amplifying potential, a range of relatively new technologies, including 3-D printing, automation, and e-commerce platforms are beginning to come online and promise to have equal, if not greater, transformative effects on trade.
Another key source of uncertainty is the evolving global policy environment. With the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom and a similar dampening of popular sentiment toward globalization in other Western countries, a clear horizon of ever-growing international integration seems now behind us. Meanwhile, the enthusiasm for deeper trade ties is accelerating in many emerging economies. China and other emerging-market countries are looking to drive ambitious new trade-cooperation initiatives that could “carry the torch” even if the pace of West-driven liberalization efforts decelerates.

Investing | Nov 29, 2023 Reflecting on Charles T. Munger who passed away yesterday at the age of 99 in Santa Barbara, California Charles Thomas Munger (January 1, 1924 – November 28, 2023) The recent passing of Charlie Munger, the esteemed vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (and billionaire), marks the end of an era in the investment world. As reported by The New York Times, Munger's influence extended beyond investment strategies to shaping the very culture of Berkshire Hathaway.

Born in Omaha in 1924, Munger served in the Army Air Corps and later graduated from Harvard Law School. He practiced law before shifting to investing, where he made his first million dollars. Munger was also known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in architecture, donating millions to university projects. He was active in Berkshire Hathaway into his 90s and served as chairman of Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles.

Regulation | Nov 29, 2023 Elon Musk and Mark Cuban Support Legal Challenge Against SEC's In-House Judges Elon Musk and Mark Cuban are backing hedge-fund manager George Jarkesy in a significant legal battle against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This case, now before the US Supreme Court, questions the SEC's use of in-house judges for imposing penalties. Jarkesy's argument, supported by Musk and Cuban, is centered on the constitutional right of defendants in SEC cases to have a jury trial. This challenge could reshape how the SEC and potentially other regulatory bodies like the Federal Trade Commission conduct their enforcement actions. The Problems with Conflicts and Power Imbalance The problem with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) using in-house judges primarily revolves around concerns of fairness, constitutional rights, and the balance of power in regulatory enforcement. Here are some key points of contention: The central issue is the SEC's ability to bring cases before its own administrative law judges (ALJs) instead of federal courts. Critics argue that this denies defendants the constitutional right to a jury trial, which is seen as a fundamental aspect of the American legal system. There's a perception that in-house judges may be biased in ...
