Abstract: Towards the end of 2008 the global crisis initiated to manifest itself in international trade. In this paper we show that the slump in global demand and the slowing-down in economic growth translated into a substantial reduction in international trade that has affected the cross-border trade of virtually all countries and economic sectors. Adittionally, we focus on the reasons why trade declined so steeply, with 12% in 2009. The emerging consensus is that the great trade collapse was mostly a demand shock – although supply side factors played some role. Finally, we observ that after a challenging two years in which the global economy endured the worst recession since the Second World War, recovery is now unambiguously underway.
