In response to a trade shock, what innovative approaches to support data collection, dissemination and application can be taken, without burdening businesses and frontline staff?

COVID-19 has posed a major economic shock, disrupting trade flows, stretching supply chains, and challenging international organisations that uphold systems of global governance as well as broader perceptions of international openness. Beyond immediate policy responses, evidence should support long-term recovery and economic security within the global rules-based system.
