The fragmentation of world trade and geopolitics has huge consequences for the Asia-Pacific region. How does the region react and build resilience? Are there implications for supply chains, payments, and trade finance? How should we think about the multilateral trading system within this geopolitical and geoeconomic framework, and what are the consequences for businesses and financial service organisations? During this session, taking place during GTR Asia 2025 in Singapore in September, delegates heard from renowned experts as they shared perspectives and discussed scenarios ranging from more cooperative approaches to increased policy uncertainty in the global economy.
