Geopolitical and trade developments in the last 12 to 18 months have prompted many multinational enterprises (MNEs) to set up manufacturing alternatives in ASEAN/India. Global trade has been further impacted by the COVID-19 crisis with disruptions in supply chains, which has highlighted the risk of being dependent on centralized manufacturing. There is now a widespread emphasis among MNEs on de-risking their supply chains and considering diversification.
Governments in ASEAN and India have been mapping these developments closely and have undertaken series of measures to incentivize new investments/ expansions. In addition, there are new measures to further promote investments in certain sectors.
Join us for an interactive discussion including:
- Overview of emerging trends in global trade resulting from the current pandemic
