As 2025 draws to a close, our International Economics team is proud to reflect on a year marked by global reach, analytical depth, and sustained impact. Our work continued to support governments, businesses, and international partners across every region of the world – from North and South America to Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific.

Trade policy remained at the core of our portfolio. We advanced analysis on goods, services, and digital trade, supported FTA negotiations, and strengthened rules-of-origin frameworks across countries spanning Latin America, the EU, and ASEAN. Our contributions to export strategies – from Peru to Vietnam – helped countries position themselves more competitively in shifting global markets.

This year also showcased the breadth of our expertise beyond traditional trade topics. Our team played an active role in shaping forward-looking strategies on digital trade and e-commerce, helping partners navigate the rulebooks and opportunities of a rapidly evolving global digital economy. We expanded our work on just transition for MSMEs and supported policy thinking on the trade dimensions of climate action, clean technology, and circularity. In parallel, our analysis on trade and sustainable development continued to inform partners in enabling fairer and more sustainable outcomes in global value chains.

Across every region – whether through dashboards on U.S. tariff impacts, foresight studies in Asia-Pacific, MSME support at the global level, or clean tech value chain strategies – our goal has been consistent: empower decision-makers with evidence-based insights that help economies grow, diversify, and adapt. We received several Who’s Who accolades and were named by the Financial Times in 2025 as one of Africa’s 100 fastest growing companies for the second year in a row.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication, curiosity, and collaborative spirit of our team, as well as support and constructive partnerships from our partners. Thank you for another year of thoughtful insights, meaningful collaboration, and global impact.

Here’s to an even more ambitious 2026, as we continue to shape trade policy, support sustainable and inclusive growth, and help our partners navigate an increasingly complex global economy.
