Expenses for purchasing equipment, training officials and putting in place new measures
have benefitted from substantial technical and financial assistance for trade facilitation over
the last decade. Since 2005, approximately USD 1.9 billion has been disbursed in aid for trade
facilitation.
Donor commitments directed to simplifying and modernising border rules and procedures
reached USD 670 million in 2013, an almost eightfold increase from the 2002-05 base-line

increase over a ten-year period. Indeed, aid for trade facilitation resisted the financial crisis
relatively well, declining by 10% between 2010 and 2011, compared to the 14% decline in
overall aid for trade commitments in 2011.
In addition, the equipment and infrastructure needs of trade facilitation reforms have also
benefited from the substantial funds directed to trade-related infrastructure, with USD 18.7
billion devoted to transport and storage and USD 1 billion devoted to communications i
