Global trade is in flux. While trade volumes continue to increase, issues ranging from geopolitics to technology and climate change complicate what lies ahead – for policymakers, practitioners, and scores of communities around the world who have benefited from global trade. The Hinrich Foundation presents the Future of Trade Interview Series as a forum to discuss developments in trade and debate the policy options available to advance sustainable and mutually beneficial global trade.
The Future of Trade Interview Series launched with a conversation with Denis Hew, who heads the Policy Support Unit (PSU) of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The PSU publishes analysis about the economic and trade trends impacting the grouping of 21 economies of the Pacific Rim.
The series will include interviews with entrepreneurs, policymakers, advocates, and other thought leaders working to foster global trade. Join us in this important conversation.
