What Broke Global Trade In 2020
Multiple direction changes over the period mean any two-point comparison — say, first year to last — is likely to be misleading on its own. The middle years matter just as much.
The scale of this drop matches what happened to trade worldwide in 2020, as the pandemic disrupted both the supply side and the demand side of trade at once.
This chart answers 'what happened' for Australia, not 'is that good or bad' — that second question needs a comparison point, either other countries or a longer run of history than what's shown here.
Data like this is rarely a fresh annual count. It is more often a periodic survey with the in-between years estimated — worth knowing before treating every single year as an independent, precise measurement.
Small absolute numbers like these amplify percentage swings — the same-sized change in volume looks dramatic as a percentage here in a way it wouldn't for a bigger trade flow. Read the raw numbers, not just the percent.
