Global Trade Alert is an independent and comprehensive brand that focuses on monitoring and providing timely information on state interventions that impact global commerce. Since its launch in June 2009 during the global financial crisis, Global Trade Alert has been dedicated to tracking and analyzing government policies related to trade in goods and services, foreign investment, and labor force migration. The brand has a particular emphasis on the policy choices of G-20 governments, while also providing global coverage.

Over the years, Global Trade Alert has evolved from a trade policy monitoring initiative into a widely-used resource for firms, industry associations, journalists, researchers, international organizations, and governments. Known for its extensive coverage and data collection methods, Global Trade Alert is recognized for its valuable insights and analysis. With its recent transition to a charitable foundation, Global Trade Alert continues to be a go-to platform for comprehensive and transparent information on policies affecting world commerce
