With cross-border trade increasing in complexity, digitalisation is more crucial than ever. The UK-Southeast Asia Trade Digitalisation Pilot, building on the first ever fully digitalised goods shipment, which landed in Singapore from the UK in September 2023 following the UK’s ratification of the Electronic Trade Documents Act, is paving the way for more efficient trade through electronic transferable records. How can this collaboration further transform global markets and what are the barriers to adoption? During GTR Asia 2024, Martin Kent (Department for Business and Trade), alongside a distinguished panel, including Louise Beazor (British Chamber of Commerce Singapore (BritCham), Simon Middlebrough (Singapore Aero Engine Services Private Limited (SAESL), Andie McKeown (LogChain), Zak Lawton (British Embassy Bangkok), and Nimisha Tailor (E-nomics), shared their perspectives on these initiatives and the future of digital trade. GTR extends its thanks to all participants for driving conversations on the future of trade digitalisation at GTR Asia 2024.

Shifting #supplychain dynamics, #geopolitical upheavals, and #economic slowdowns are reshaping global #tradeflows. With interest rate hikes impacting domestic demand and labour actions affecting major seaports, Asia’s export performance in 2023 reversed after years of strong growth. How will trade and supply chain flows be impacted, and what trends—both positive and negative—should we expect moving forward? At GTR Asia 2024 in Singapore earlier this month, Peter Tirschwell (S&P Global Market Intelligence) and Dave Goh (Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB)), in conversation with Peter Matza (Association of Corporate Treasurers), delved into these challenges, exploring how businesses can adapt to an increasingly uncertain trade environment. GTR would like to extend our gratitude to all speakers and participants of GTR Asia 2024, the premier forum for discussing developments in global trade, supply chains, and finance.
