Deteriorating international cooperation and trade could have a negative impact on global economic growth, affecting the poorest countries the most, an International Monetary Fund (IMF) study said.
Among the main problems, the IMF pointed to measures taken by some countries that restrict trade, immigration and cross-border capital flows. These and other factors could lower world GDP by 7% in the long term, fund analysts said. If the restrictions affect the exchange of technology, the negative effect might amount to 8-12% of GDP for some countries.
“The world economy may be on the verge of moving away from the consistent course towards integration seen in the second half of the 20th century,” the paper notes. – Fragmentation may bring strategic advantages to some countries in individual cases, but overall it entails significant economic damage”.
These damages would take the form of “higher import tariffs, market segmentation, reduced access to technology and labour, both skilled and unskilled, and ultimately a reduction in productivity and living standards,” the IMF warns.
In particular, barriers to labour movement between countries could slow innovation and technology diffusion. In addition, fragmentation will reduce options for cross-border investment, hampering economic development.
Global trade was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, while the economy was just beginning to recover from the 2008 global financial crisis, as well as the UK’s exit from the EU and the US trade war with China, the fund said.
To improve the situation, the IMF recommends strengthening trade partnerships in the area of trade exchange, ensuring fair competition and taking measures to protect the most vulnerable groups of citizens.

In Ukraine the corn harvest of 2022 remains unharvested from 15% of the area, so because of the wintering of part of the crop in the fields its quality will be much worse than in a more favorable 2021.
The head of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Foodstuffs of Ukraine Mykola Solsky said at a briefing in Kiev on Monday that the final quality of corn harvested in 2022 will be judged in February, after the end of its harvesting.
“Day by day its (unharvested corn – IF-U) quality worsens. Of course, farmers, elevator operators and traders know how to work with it and level out the quality indicators. However, compared with last year (2021 – IF-U) the quality will be much worse. We will be able to say exactly how much worse at the end of February, because significant amounts of corn remain in the fields,” the minister said.
Solsky recalled that by the beginning of last year’s winter corn was not harvested from one-third of the area, while now this figure is about half as much, but it is still too much.
“We have a much worse crop this year because for a number of reasons we have entered a prolonged harvest, which in itself is quite difficult: severe temperature fluctuations prevent farmers from working and damage the quality of grain. I think the percentage of losses, depending on the farmer, can be from a few percent to 15%. It depends on the type of corn, moisture content, with which he “came in” at the beginning of the frost, the current temperature drop,” – the Minister explained.
Earlier Minagropolitiki reported that by January 13, Ukraine harvested a total of 23.5 million tons of corn from 3.6 million hectares, including 1.4 million tons of corn from 0.2 million hectares during the week of January 6-13. 15% of the planned areas are not harvested.
As reported, Ukraine in 2021 harvested a record crop of cereals, legumes and oilseeds at 106 million tons: 84 million tons of cereals and legumes (including 40 million tons of corn), and 22.6 million tons of oilseeds.
