Lamy suggests "trade in value-added" as a better measurement of world trade

Director-General Pascal Lamy, in launching the WTO and IDE-JETRO joint publication "Trade Patterns and Global Value Chains in East Asia" on 6 June 2011 at the WTO, said that "by focusing on gross values of exports and imports, traditional trade statistics give us a distorted picture of trade imbalances between countries". "The picture would be different if we took account of how much domestic value-added is embedded in these flows," he said. He explained that global manufacturing has brought a new dimension to the relationship between trade, investments, industrial production and development. "Far from being a zero sum game, trade in tasks proved to be a win-win game for the Asian region," he said. He invited the public to pursue the dialogue virtually, through the WTO "Made in the World" website.
