About the GTA
GTA is a global independent initiative drawing upon economic expertise from research institutes in seven regions of the world economy and stands apart from any government or international organization. The Centre for Economic Policy Research launched the Global Trade Alert (GTA) project (www.globaltradealert.org) in London on June 8, 2009. Funders of GTA include the UK Government (Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Department for International Development (DFID)); The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), Canada; the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada; the World Bank; and the German Marshall Fund of the United States. To ensure independence a group of eminent persons including Gary Horlick and Ernesto Zedillo will provide advice on the implementation of Global Trade Alert.
