  • 🇬🇪 How domestic unrest is watering down Georgia’s role in the global economy The EU granted Georgia candidate status in December 2023, but the ruling Georgian Dream party has since backtracked on reforms. The disputed October 2024 election and a four-year delay in EU talks sparked mass protests. The government's suppression of dissent, its pro-Russia stance, and the controversial inauguration of Mikheil Kavelashvili as president further highlight systemic issues that jeopardise Georgia’s EU aspirations. 🤔 How does this affect Georgia's trading sector? 📑 In our latest #TRADEFINANCETALKS Magazine Issue 24, TFG’s Mahika Ravi Shankar and PANGEA-RISK founder Robert Besseling gave us more insights about the geopolitical situation in Georgia and its role in the global economy.  📖 Read the article and the magazine, links in the comments section below ⬇️ #Georgia #risk #trade

  • 🛍️ Trump targets Chinese consumer imports as trade leaders remain cautiously optimistic ➡️ A new wave of Trump trade policies targeting Chinese imports of consumer goods from budget online stores like Shein and Temu showcase Trump’s continued efforts to curb foreign imports, using a wide array of methods beyond blanket tariffs. However, Vincent Clerc, head of shipping giant Maersk Line, Limited, told the Financial Times today that this, and Trump’s tariff regime as a whole, could have less of an impact on global trade volumes than was initially thought if consumer demand and purchasing power remains stable.   📢 The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced today it would suspend delivery of all parcels coming from China and Hong Kong without an explanation. At the same time, the new package of tariffs against China included the closure of a little-known loophole, making imports of cheap consumer goods more expensive and cumbersome. 📖 Read the article and the magazine, links in the comments section below ⬇️ #globaltrade #import #export #tariff

  • 🌐 COP29 Azerbaijan roundup: 3 takeaways for the trade finance world (and where to go next) COP29 earned the nickname “finance COP” for its discussion on regulations, investment, and ways to finance the green transition, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and developing countries. 📑 In our latest #TRADEFINANCETALKS Magazine Issue 24, TFG’s Silvia Andreoletti gave us 3 takeaways from COP29 for the trade finance world. “Overall, COP29 shows the international community’s commitment to both goals and gave rise to important steps to include every player, especially SMEs, in the climate transition. What was lacking was a set of binding rules on climate finance and trade, which could have accelerated the climate transition and encouraged businesses to take green finance more seriously.” 📖 Read the article and the magazine, links in the comments section below ⬇️ #COP29 #SMEs #greenfinance #sustainability

  • 🕸️ Navigating the complex web of trade finance fraud and trade-based money laundering (TBML) While it’s difficult to arrive at an exact figure, it’s widely recognised that, in trade finance, billions are lost each year due to fraudulent practices. High-profile cases like Hin Leong Trading (Pte.) Ltd.’s bankruptcy and Greensill Capital’s insolvency highlight the vulnerabilities in the trade finance ecosystem. 📖 Sarath Sasikumar, Co-Founder & President of Cleareye.ai gave us more information about trade-based money laundering (TBML) and how new technologies such as artificial intelligence can help detect fraud effectively and provide more transparency when trading. “Automation plays a crucial role in preventing fraud in trade finance. By leveraging machine learning and AI to extract, analyse, and cross-check data from trade documents, banks can significantly reduce the risk of human error and catch discrepancies that may signal fraud.” 📖 Read the article via link in the comments section below ⬇️ #TBML #tradefinance #fraudprevention #AI

However, inflation has been a persistent problem for CEE countries. 📑 In our latest #TRADEFINANCETALKS Magazine Issue 24, TFG’s Carter Hoffman builds on a speech by Vít Mikušek, a macroeconomic analyst at Raiffeisenbank Česká republika in the Czech Republic where explored the key themes shaping the CEE economies today, with a particular focus on growth, inflation, competitiveness, and the impact of global volatility. 🗣️ Mikušek said, “We expect that this year we will see a partial recovery, which should accelerate in the coming years, [but it will not be uniform across the region]. When you go from the south and east side of Europe to the west, you will see less and less growth.” 📖 Read the article and the magazine, links in the comments section below ⬇️ #Europe #economicgrowth #trade
