Regional trade in transition: digitalization, servitization, and de-risking.
By Vitada Anukunawattaka, Yann Duval, Nikita Shahu, And Niccolo Sainati Trade in the Asia-Pacific region has moved towards a new strategic reality. latest asia-pacifiC Trade and Investment Trends (APTIT) highlights that rapid technological change and strategic restructuring of supply chains are reshaping the way the region&#039;s economies trade and compete. Rather than pursue cost efficiency alone, companies and governments are increasingly prioritizing supply chain flexibility, diversification and digital readiness.
