The UK and Global Prosperity: Breaking the Barriers to Trade 2022 | Economist Impact | 23 March 2022 | Webinar

At this perilous moment in a world of regular disruptions, industry leaders are continuing to assess the opportunities and challenges that exist in the new trading system. Join the Economist Impact for The UK and global prosperity. The event will bring together industry experts to examine how trade will evolve in the UK in the coming years and drive business growth that is competitive, digital, resilient, and sustainable.

Some of the key questions discussed will include:
• What characteristics distinguish trade in the new post-Brexit and post-pandemic world?
• What are the current trends in cross-border relations? How will opportunities be harnessed in the Indo-Pacific region?
• How can businesses exploit the opportunities of international trade? For future growth, how will businesses further build resilience during disruption and improve governance of existing operations?
• How can the right finance and insurance be provided?
• How can the power of capital investment and financial flows be harnessed for SMEs to foster greater levels of collaboration and innovation?
• What trade barriers still exist in the UK business environment, and what improvements can benefit businesses?
