Following the G20 Trade and Investment Ministers’ mandate at their meeting late March, the Trade and Investment Working Group (TIWG) held a meeting on April 22 to address and develop short-term and long-term action plans to minimize human and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on trade, investment, and global supply chain.
TIWG proposed actions to maintain supply chain of medical supplies and equipment and agricultural products across countries. Meeting participants also focused on long-term strategies to reinforce multilateral trading system, resilient global supply chain, and improve global investment to boost economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.
