Seasonally-adjusted world merchandise trade volume rose by 1.1 per cent quarter on quarter and by 3.3 per cent YoY in Q3 2024, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of moderate trade expansion, WTO said.
For the year to September, this was up by 2.4 per cent YoY.
Slower trade growth in value terms than in volume terms shows a slight drop in prices of traded goods during the first three quarters.
