The Commonwealth's Trade Landscape in a Post-COVID World
International trade fuels economic growth by increasing employment, production and the provision of a wider variety of goods and services at lower prices. However, two unprecedented recent crises are significantly affecting global trade: the US–China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper assesses the impact of the US–China trade war on Commonwealth members' trade, the effect of the trade war on Commonwealth members' supply chain trade, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Commonwealth members' trade.
Keywords: trade policy, COVID-19, US-China trade war, supply chains
