    The Global Enabling Trade Report 2016 is jointly published by the World Economic Forum and the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation.

    wef

    The World Economic Forum, committed to improving the state of the world, is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.  The International Trade and Investment system initiative informs global policy-making and supports practical steps to unlock the potential of trade and investment.

    global-alliance

    The Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation is a public-private partnership for trade-led growth. Recognising that neither governments nor the private sector can deliver on the full potential of the TFA on their own, the World Economic Forum, the International Chamber of Commerce and the Center for International Private Enterprise have joined forces with the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States to leverage business expertise, leadership and resources to support effective trade facilitation reforms measured by real-world business metrics.

    The Global Enabling Trade Report 2016 project was led by Thierry Geiger. The authors are Thierry Geiger, Attilio Di Battista, Sean Doherty, and Ilmari Soininen, all at the World Economic Forum.

    Donia Hammami and Stephen Lloyd at ICC and Jose Raul Perales at CIPE conducted the interviews for, and wrote the Trader Stories featured in Chapter 1. The authors are very grateful to the following individuals and organizations who contributed to the Report: Evdokia Moisé and Silvia Sorescu at the OECD (in their personal capacity); Thomas Westergaard-Kabelmann at QBIS Consulting; and the International Road Transport Union (IRU). The authors thank Michael Fisher for his excellent editing work and Neil Weinberg for his superb graphic design and layout.

    Daniel Gomez Gaviria and Margareta Drzeniek Hanouz provided insightful feedback. 

    Finally, the authors thank Philippe Isler, Director of the Alliance’s Secretariat, and their colleagues of the World Economic Forum’s International Trade and Investment system initiative for their assistance: Francesca Bianchi, Kimberley Botwright, Andres Galeota, Susanne Hartmann (on secondment from GIZ), Katarina Hruba, Joanita Kalibala, Cristian Rodriguez Chiffelle, and Prashanth Sitaraman.
