International trade has driven the global economy and development during the last few decades. Trade has risen in nearly all parts of the world, becoming one of the most dynamic sources of growth and a powerful enabler of economic development for many countries. In 2014, total world exports of goods and services amounted to USD 23.6 trillion, of which OECD countries generated USD 14 trillion, and total imports of goods and services reached USD 22.8 trillion, of which 13.9 trillion were accounted for by OECD countries.
