International Trade, 1953: A report on international trade developments during 1953 was issued by GATT in June 1954. During the year 1953, a significant change had occurred in the prevailing post-1950 pattern of trade; the unfavorable position of the western European industrial areas with the accompanying dollar deficits had been largely redressed, with a gradual reversion to the pre-Korean price structure. Important shifts in the flow of goods between the industrial areas had contributed to a more balanced trade pattern than at any other time in the post-war period. The level of trade among the three non-industrial areas had remained remarkably constant, but there had been a significant slowing down of the exchange of goods between the areas producing primary products and the industrial areas of the world; while the volume of exports of the primary producers had increased, the prices of their commodities had fallen to an extent that made export proceeds decline heavily. However, there had been an intensification of exchanges between each industrial area and the particular primary producing region with which it was most closely associated.

United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment: The Conference, which was convened by the Economic and Social Council at Havana on November 21, 1947, ended on March 24, 1948 when representatives of 53 countries signed the Final Act of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment, which included the Charter of the International Trade Organization. Of the 56 eligible nations, three did not sign; Argentina and Poland had previously announced their abstentions and the Turkish delegation stated that its instructions had been delayed. The Final Act committed the delegations to submit the Charter to their governments for ratification. The Charter was to enter into effect 60 days after a majority (27) of the signatories ratified the document. If, by March 24, 1949, this requirement had not been fulfilled then 20 ratifications were to be adequate; if by September 30, 1949, these ratifications had not been made, the Secretary-General of the United Nations was to invite the governments which had ratified to confer for the purpose of determining on what conditions they desired to bring the Charter into effect.
