What Broke Global Trade In 2020
Resist the instinct to draw a straight line through this. The path bends both directions, and the next year could plausibly go either way.
This decline fits a global pattern: COVID-19 disrupted supply chains and demand simultaneously in 2020, and trade flows fell broadly across most economies in the same year.
This kind of indicator is almost never measured continuously — it's estimated from periodic data collection, published and later revised by Eastern Africa (excluding intra-trade)'s statistical authority. Direction is the reliable part; individual years less so.
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.
