 And still on business news, the United Nations says economy's global trade reached a record high in 2021, but it is expected to slow in 2022 for many reasons, including continuing delays in global supply chains. Announcing that worldwide commerce amounted to around $28.5 trillion in 2021, the UN Conference on Trade and Development explained that this represented an increase of almost 13 percent compared to the pre-pandemic level of 2019. The UN body said it entered into force in January 1, 2022, and it could significantly increase trade between members, diverting trade from non-member countries, adding that other regional commerce initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area could produce a similar result.
