Strengthening supply chain resilience is essential. Our recent #OECDSupplyChain Resilience Review shows how governments and businesses can reduce risks from shocks, support digitalisation and deepen cooperation across borders. 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Agile. Adaptive. Aligned. Our own @marionjansen.bsky.social talks Triple-A supply chains and how to prepare for future trade shocks in her latest interview with @borderlex.net. 🔗 borderlex.net/2025/07/08/i... #OECDSupplyChains #ResilientSupplyChains

The @oecdtrade.bsky.social 's Marion Jansen on Borderlex: "Re-localisation of production could decrease global trade by more than 18% and global real gross domestic output by more than 5%, with no consistent improvements in resilience in the face of shocks." borderlex.net/2025/07/08/i...

Data flows enable supply chain resilience & help us tackle global challenges. But growth in cross-border data flows also raises new challenges across policy areas. Explore the measures impacting flows of non-personal data🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Illicit trade in counterfeit goods is a serious threat that continues to grow.  A 🆕 OECD paper examines how trade in counterfeit goods affects the Swiss economy and intellectual property rights.  Explore the findings👉 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

A🆕OECD policy brief reports that the top five most subsidised sectors are: 1️⃣Solar cells & modules 2️⃣Semiconductors 3️⃣Aluminium 4️⃣Shipbuilding 5️⃣Steel Discover what the focus of subsidies around these sectors means for a level playing field in trade🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

🌎#MSMEDay Micro-, small & medium-sized enterprises play a key role in creating jobs & supporting the participation of women as entrepreneurs & in the workforce, yet they are underrepresented in global trade. Learn why in the OECD #TradeAndGender Review ➡️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

🆕OECD data finds that companies in China continued to receive markedly larger amounts of subsidies relative to their revenue than firms based elsewhere, bringing the conversation of government transparency and fair competition in trade to the forefront➡️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

The use of #industrialsubsidies by governments has grown worldwide, raising concerns about a level playing field in trade. Explore the🆕 OECD policy brief to learn more about the state of play of industrial subsidies over the last 18 years. 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

#Resilientsupplychains comes from managing risk—not isolation. OECD modelling shows that relocalising supply chains could cut trade by 18%, reduce GDP by 5%, and fail to improve stability. Learn more🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

While exports remain diversified, import concentration has surged—up 50% since the 1990s. Such concentration can increase vulnerability to shocks, underscoring the need for international cooperation. 🔍 Read more: www.oecd.org/en/publicati... #OECDSupplyChains

Women are up to 40% less likely to have export-oriented jobs than men in Latin America— women more often work in less- traded sectors like health, education & public administration. Read more on the #GenderGap in trade: www.oecd.org/en/publicati... | #OECDgender

In many Latin American countries, women are more likely than men to work in the informal economy, which can account for ~half of paid work. Work within the informal economy can mean: ➡️lower wages ➡️poorer conditions ➡️increased incidence of harassment 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Data from the #OECDSupplyChains Review: ➡️50% rise in significant import concentration globally from 1990s-2020s ➡️Impacts of shocks in domestic sectors are larger than those in foreign sectors ➡️Relocalising supply chains could shrink trade by >18% 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

New data on #OECDSupplyChains shows that the impacts of shocks occurring in domestic sectors tend to be larger than those in foreign sectors. How do these insights inform risk management policies? Discover this and more in our 🆕 report ➡️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Regulatory context and societal norms can impact women's ability to fully participate in the labour force and in higher-paid positions, including trade-related jobs. A new OECD report explores trade policies affecting women in 7 LAC countries ➡️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

With growing perceptions that globalised supply chains are a source of vulnerability, some think relocalisation is the solution. In reality, it could shrink global trade by 18% and global GDP by over 5% without improving stability of supply. 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

A new OECD report shows a 50% rise in significant import concentration globally in the early 2020s vs. the late 1990s, largely driven by non-OECD countries. Explore the 🆕 #OECDSupplyChains Review to see what policies can further fortify trade➡️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

The key to supply chain resilience is not found in the elimination of risk, but in the effective navigation of risk. 🔎Discover 🆕 #OECDSupplyChains Resilience Review and the latest policy recommendations out now. ⤵️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

The European Union remains a key target for counterfeiters. In 2021, the value of counterfeit goods imported into the EU was estimated at USD 117 billion, representing 4.7% of total EU imports. Discover our 🆕 report for more stats on #illicittrade🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

With rising export restrictions on #RawMaterials, what's at stake? New OECD data reports: ➡️ Higher prices ➡️ Supply chain disruptions ➡️ Global ripple effects Learn more 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

The OECD has tracked export restriction trends since 2009, providing key insights to navigate supply and sustainability trade-offs. Read the 🆕 OECD Inventory of Export Restrictions on Industrial #RawMaterials for the latest updates👉 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Recent trade measures show more assertive policies & efforts to retain value domestically. Export taxes & licensing requirements are the most common restriction tools but the use of export prohibitions, the most limiting export restriction, is rising. 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Export restrictions have increased fivefold from 2009-2023, but which sectors faced such measures the most? New OECD data reports that waste and scrap face the most restrictions due to environmental concerns + growing interest in circular supply chains. 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

By the end of 2023, over 500 new raw material products were added to the list of products with at least one export restriction. See what this shift means for countries access to critical raw material supplies ⤵️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Amidst growing demand for critical raw materials vital to renewable energy, digital technologies and defence, export restrictions have risen fivefold since 2009. Discover the 🆕 OECD database on export restrictions of #RawMaterials out now. ⤵️ www.oecd.org/en/publicati...
