The Wall Street Journal has created a series of graphs that show how global trade flows rebounded more quickly in 2020 in the aftermath of the pandemic than in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008. One graph shows that global trade flows began increasing five months into the start of the pandemic, whereas they only began increasing nine months into the start of the financial crisis. Another graph shows that despite the pandemic, global exports in 2020 increased by over 10 percent for Vietnam and China.
