Global trade negotiations at risk of stalling, jeopardizing growth opportunities.
The Doha Development Agenda (DDA) is a set of trade negotiations by the World Trade Organisation. Progress has been slow, with setbacks at meetings in Cancun and Hong Kong. The goal is to promote growth through trade, but challenges remain in areas like agriculture and market access. If these negotiations fail, there could be negative impacts on global trade and development. It's important to see trade policy as part of broader economic strategies for success.
