Despite the challenges and uncertainties faced by the global economy in recent years, there have been positive developments in many areas. For example, according to the World Bank, extreme poverty has continued to decline, with the number of people living on less than $1.90 a day falling from 1.9 billion in 1990 to 689 million in 2017. In addition, global trade has continued to grow, with total exports reaching $19.5 trillion in 2019, up from $16.5 trillion in 2010. Many countries have also made progress in improving access to education and healthcare, which can contribute to long-term economic growth and development. While there are still many challenges and disparities that need to be addressed, these positive trends demonstrate the potential for continued progress in the global economy.
