Trade has the potential to contribute significantly to growth and employment. Countries that have embraced openness have been more successful in sustaining growth and moving up the development ladder than those that have not. In the 1990s, per capita real income grew more than three times faster for developing countries that lowered trade barriers, according to the World Bank (OECD et al., 2010). Trade can make an essential contribution to delivering the growth necessary to end poverty (World Bank and WTO, 2015).
