Overall decline?! Trade data released by countries, trade contraction is hitting many countries!
Aug 16,2023

Recently, due to factors such as sluggish external demand and continued malaise, the import and export trade of all countries in the world is not ideal.
The latest data shows that the exports of most countries, including Vietnam, South Korea, and the United States, are showing a downward trend. In the short term, the sluggish global trade situation is difficult to quickly reverse, and the decline in exports may have a continuous impact on economic growth.
However, under the shadow of the expectation of economic recession and the shrinking global trade, the exports of Germany, Turkey and other countries have achieved contrarian growth.
