Economic Disruptions to the Global Economy and Trade

We have witnessed a dramatic fall in the value of the dollar, a surge in oil prices, and the worldwide financial fallout resulting from the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market. The Spring Conference of the International Trade Data Users will address these recent economic events and their impact on global trade and investment trends. Topics include:

• Mandatory Electronic Filing of Export Declaration Information – Impact on Data Collection and Statistical Outputs
• The Need for Quality Trade Information by the Growing Chinese Economy – What is Available and What is Required
• Recommendations for Standardizing Definitions of International Commodity Trade Statistics and Cargo Flows
• The Impact of Trade Shifts on Container Cargo Logistics
