Government subsidies for large manufacturing firms: Insights from the OECD MAGIC database Government subsidies are an increasingly central issue for global trade, yet their nature and implications for international trade are still insufficiently understood. Using novel data from the OECD MAnufacturing Groups and Industrial Corporations (MAGIC) database, this column reveals that subsidies are common among major global firms across 14 key industrial sectors but typically modest relative to firm revenue, with notable exceptions. China-based companies stand out for receiving significantly larger subsidies, especially in the form of below-market borrowings, and frequently expanding their share in global markets.

204. Is Europe ready for Trump? Europe had a rocky ride during President Trump's first term, but it was largely spared from significant tariffs. The world is different this time around.

Europe was largely spared from significant Trump tariffs during his first term. The world now seems to be different.

Lessons from how the EU negotiated with Trump last time, as well as how the EU's new 'anti-coercion instrument' may soon be put to the test.

Trumpโ€™s new tariffs could crush Canada's and Mexico's car industries. Production could drop by 71% & 57%.
Very uneven effect on automakers:
- Big losers: Volkswagen & Stellantis
- Tesla & GM + Toyota, Hyundai & Subaru could gain
