International trade is widely recognised as a key driver of economic growth, poverty reduction and societal development. The United Nations (UN) thus considers international trade as an important instrument for individual countries and the world as a whole to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The particular attention that the UN gives to the developing countries in this regard makes it clear that some of these countries still lie strongly behind as to their integration into the international trade and thus are farther away from benefiting from trade for their development[...]

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the global value chains (GVCs) substantially as it struck at their core regions, including China, Europe and the United States (Seric et al., 2020).

It is highly likely that the COVID-19 determined decline in world trade will be more substantial than the historical trade fall brought by the global financial crisis more than ten years ago[...]
