Paul Kim (Head of Strategy & Product Development, Aon) and Chris Magpayo (Vice-President, Business Development, Enterprise Partnerships, Mastercard) shed light on the crucial role the trade finance industry has to play in this, from the role of banks in financing vaccine exports as part of the Covax initiative, to the recent insurance industry collaboration providing cover for vaccine shipments. The discussion also focused on how such public-private collaborations could potentially lay the groundwork for the supply of other critical goods, changing the way trade supply chains are managed going forward.
