Ralph Ossa

Chief Economist WTO

We are pleased to welcome Ralph Ossa, Chief Economist at the World Trade Organization (WTO), as a speaker at the NHH Symposium 2025, where he will shed light on how geopolitics affects global trade. Ossa is also the Director of the WTO's Economic Research and Statistics Division, a position he assumed in January 2023 after an impressive academic career at Princeton University, the University of Chicago and the University of Zurich, among others.

As a leading researcher in the field of international economics, Ossa has particularly focused on issues related to trade policy. His research has provided insights into everything from the economics of trade wars to the benefits countries derive from international trade. We look forward to seeing you on stage, Ralph Ossa!
