The Trade and Development Report, launched in 1981, is issued every year for the annual session of the Trade and Development Board.
The Report analyses current economic trends and major policy issues of international concern and makes suggestions for addressing these issues at various levels.
Past reports have looked at economic and social damage caused by financial crises, growing debt, stagnant wages and environmental degradation.
The series is intended for economists, policy makers, academics and all those involved in economic and trade research and analysis.
