What is the "trade pattern" and what is the current world trade pattern?

Trade pattern is the meaning of trade situation and trade situation, indicating the trade situation and development trend.

Today's world trade pattern:

(1) The international division of labor has further deepened, and the impact of trade on economic growth has become increasingly prominent.

Although the impact of the financial crisis is still there, with the deepening of economic globalization, the current world trade growth has obviously accelerated and has gradually entered the growth stage.

With the improvement of productivity, the deepening of international division of labor, the development of information industry and the progress of science and technology, the product life cycle is shortened, the new round of industrial transfer is accelerated, the growth rate of international investment mergers and acquisitions is accelerated, and the dependence on foreign trade of all countries in the world is improved to varying degrees.

(2) The trade pattern centered on developed countries remains unchanged, and the influence of developing countries increases. The three major economies of the United States, Japan and Europe are not only the main forces in the world economy, but also occupy a dominant position in international trade.

At present, developed countries have occupied more than 70% of the world's goods exports and more than 90% of the world's service trade. However, in recent years, the influence of developing countries in the growth of international trade has gradually increased, and their contribution to the increase of global trade is also very significant.

(3) The multilateral trading system is facing new challenges and regional economic integration is accelerating. Due to various regional trade agreements and overlapping members, some trade agreements have gone beyond the traditional scope of reducing trade and investment barriers.

Regional economic cooperation with RTA as the main form has made rapid progress because it is more realistic and feasible than multilateral trade liberalization and can bring more group economic benefits to the world.

Characteristics of international trade

International trade in goods belongs to the category of commodity exchange, which is not different from domestic trade in nature, but because it is carried out between different countries or regions, it has the following characteristics compared with domestic trade:

1. International trade in goods involves possible differences and conflicts in policies, measures and legal systems of different countries or regions, as well as differences brought about by language, culture and social customs, and the issues involved are far more complicated than domestic trade.

2. In the international trade of goods, the transaction quantity and amount are generally large, the transportation distance is long, and the performance time is long, so the risks borne by both parties are far greater than those of domestic trade.

3. International trade in goods is easily influenced by the political and economic changes, bilateral relations and changes in the international situation in the countries where both parties to the transaction are located.

In addition to the two sides, international trade in goods also involves the cooperation and cooperation of transportation, insurance, banking, commodity inspection, customs and other departments, and the process is much more complicated than domestic trade.
