It would be the biggest one-year decline in trade since the second world war. Last year trade volumes grew by a sluggish 2%. Germany maintained its position as the world’s number-one exporter. The dollar value of China’s exports grew by 17%, helping it to close the gap on Germany. The top three exporters accounted for more than a quarter of the world’s exports in 2008, though their combined market share fell slightly. That was partly because of a big rise in commodity prices, which lifted the value of exports from resource-rich countries, such as Australia, Russia and Saudi Arabia.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/868353D4-2F14-4E57-AB63-05810EC9F564/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
