Abstract

In a global economy ravaged by surprises and shocks, the United States and Europe remain each other’s most important markets and geo-economic base. The transatlantic economy generates $6 trillion in total trade sales per year and employs up to 16 million workers in mutually “offshored” jobs on both sides of the Atlantic. It is the largest and richest market in the world, accounting for half of total global personal consumption and almost a third of global GDP in terms of purchasing power.

Ties are particularly strong in foreign direct investment (FDI), portfolio investment, bank claims, trade and affiliate sales of goods and services, digital ties, energy, mutual R&D investment, cooperation patents, technology flows and sales of knowledge-intensive services.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, inflationary challenges, congested supply chains and the war in Ukraine, both sides of the North Atlantic are poised for solid economic growth in 2022. Estimates for 2021 show the last year broke records on many fronts. :

• Transatlantic merchandise trade hit a record high of $1.1 trillion in 2021.

• Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows from the United States to Europe reached a record high of $253 billion;

• Revenues from US foreign affiliates won in Europe reached about $300 billion, a record;

• European subsidiaries in the United States earned a record $162 billion;

• European FDI flows to the United States reached the highest levels since 2017, reaching around $235 billion.
