La WTO prevede una crescita del 7% del commercio mondiale nel 2006
«Il sistema globale degli scambi - ha detto Pascal Lamy - sta attraversando un periodo di transizione»
Lo scorso anno il commercio mondiale ha registrato un crescita del 6% del volume delle merci scambiate (nel 2004 vi fu un aumento del 9%). I dati diffusi oggi dalla World Trade Organization (WTO) indicano un ristagno del commercio internazionale all'inizio del 2005 seguito da una ripresa alla fine dell'anno. Una ripresa che però potrebbe non concretizzarsi in una crescita stabile nel 2006. Infatti - secondo la WTO - lo scenario per quest'anno è ricco di incertezze, in particolare in Europa. Per il 2006 l'organizzazione mondiale del commercio prevede comunque un incremento del 7% del traffico internazionale delle merci ed un aumento del 3,5% dell'economia mondiale.
«Il sistema globale degli scambi - ha detto il direttore generale della WTO, Pascal Lamy - sta attraversando un periodo di transizione. Il mutamento delle circostanze economiche, i principali passi avanti nel settore tecnologico e l'emergere di nuovi attori sulla scena globale, tutto ciò sottolinea che siamo al culmine di notevoli cambiamenti. Il persistere di squilibri, determinati principalmente da fattori macroeconomici, continuano ad essere causa di preoccupazione in alcune principali economie. In questo clima di incertezza una cosa è certa: i membri dei governi devono rafforzare il sistema del commercio globale rendendolo più giusto e di rilievo per coloro che fanno del commercio nel ventunesimo secolo. Non ci può essere alcun dubbio che il miglior modo di far ciò sia di concludere quest'anno un ambizioso accordo nel Doha Round delle trattative sul commercio globale».
