A scatterplot between growth of exports and GDP for small states shows that the trade-growth relationship has indeed weakened in the post-crisis period (Figure 3.3). Mirroring the trade slowdown, greenfield FDI into these countries has been consistently declining since 2013 (Figure 3.4). Trade restrictive measures also reached a post-crisis high in 2016 (Vickers, 2017). Small states need an enabling trading environment that supports their integration into the global trading system. Under trade, the three targets are to promote the multilateral trading system under the WTO, double the LDCs’ share of global exports by 2020 and realise timely implementation of duty-free and quota-free (DFQF) market access for LDCs.
