What Broke Global Trade In 2020
A series that moves both ways like this is telling you the underlying driver isn't fixed — conditions are shifting, or the indicator itself is sensitive to short-term noise.
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.
Read this bounce as part of the worldwide trade recovery — most economies saw trade flows pick back up as reopening and stimulus drove demand higher in the same period.
Like most indicator series of this kind, the Caribbean (excluding intra-trade) numbers here are compiled from periodic surveys and filled in with modeling for the years between — read the shape of the trend, hold individual annual figures loosely.
This is a small trade volume in absolute terms — at this scale, a single shipment, buyer, or contract can move the national total by a large percentage. Don't read year-to-year swings here as an economy-wide signal.
