  7. Trade patterns and global value chains in East Asia : From Trade in Goods to Trade in Tasks andreas.maurer@wto.org

  8. Global production chains – Ins and outs International consumer demand Emergence of “Trade in tasks”: Lower applied tariffs and trade policy incentives • Dominance of trade in intermediate goods • Development of intra-firm trade • Increase of processing trade Global production chains and world trade Development of infrastructure and technological progress Export processing zones Outsourcing and offshoring strategies and FDI Need for new statistical measures of international trade

  9. Asian economies have relatively low applied tariffs on imports (especially on semi-processed goods) Source: WTO

  10. Export processing zones account for about 20% of total merchandise exports of developing economies (2006 or most recent year) : economies with EPZs Sources: ILO & WTO

  11. Asia is the most attractive FDI destination in the developing regions (Billions of US$) Source: UNCTAD

  12. Intermediate goods dominate world non-fuel merchandise exports • Key facts on Asia trade in intermediate goods … • Asia’s share in world exports of intermediate goods increases : 35% in 2009 • Intra-Asian trade is predominant • Asia imports more intermediate goods than it exports • Intermediate goods traded by Asian economies are more and more sophisticated • More and more concentrated trade on few components Billions of US$ • … Confirming that: • Asia is the “World manufacturer” • Asian supply chains boost the regional markets • Asian economies present a high degree of industrial specialization 2009 value Source: UNSD & WTO

  13. Towards a new measure of international trade • Traditional statistics present some biases: • Multi-counting of trade flows in intermediate goods • Difficult attribution of the country of origin of an imported product • Measuring trade in value added terms allows: • To circumvent the biases observed with traditional statistics • To take into account the specificity of trade occurring between the different actors of a production chain

  14. Computers and electronic equipmentexports and their domestic and imported contents (in billions of $ and percentage) Source: WTO, based on IDE-JETRO Asian Input-Output tables

  15. United States-China trade balanceTraditional versus VA measure (in billions of US$) Sources: UN Comtrade Database, IDE-JETRO AIO table and WTO estimates

  16. Summary of the benefits of trade in value added analysis • A better evaluation of the actual contribution of international trade to an economy (incl. development, employment, environment) • To highlight the interdependency of economies, and the counter-productive effects of protectionist measures on economies and enterprises they are supposed to protect • Better evaluation of the contribution of the services sector on trade • Conventional trade statistics need complement for analysing value added – data gaps and how can they be closed (TEC, WIOD, OECD/WTO)
