It therefore has great potential to foster growth and reduce poverty in developing countries. But to fully exploit this potential, its inter-linkages with other parts of the economy need to be carefully managed.

The challenge today is maintaining momentum, fulfilling commitments, boosting results and making value chains accessible to all.

- Trade to remain subdued in 2013 after sluggish growth in 2012 as European economies continue to struggle
World trade growth fell to 2.0% in 2012 — down from 5.2% in 2011 — and is expected to remain sluggish in 2013 at around 3.3% as the economic slowdown in Europe continues to suppress global import demand, WTO economists reported on 10 April 2013. "The events of 2012 should serve as a reminder that the structural flaws in economies that were revealed by the economic crisis have not been fully addressed, despite important progress in some areas. Repairing these fissures needs to be the priority for 2013," Director-General Pascal Lamy said.
