The transatlantic economy is proving to be remarkably robust in the face of global economic and strategic disruptions. The U.S. and Europe remain each other’s most important markets and geo-economic base. The $8.7 trillion transatlantic economy employs more than 16 million workers in mutually "onshored” jobs on both sides of the Atlantic. It is the largest and wealthiest market in the world, accounting for half of total global personal consumption and close to one-third of world GDP in terms of purchasing power.
