An in-person roundtable on the structural vulnerabilities – or "Achilles' heels" – of global trade. It is held by Asia House in partnership with the McKinsey Global Institute, whose latest research examines where trade is most exposed to disruption through product criticality, supplier concentration and geopolitical distance between trading partners. Senior business executives and trade experts will discuss what these vulnerabilities mean in practice and how companies and policymakers can respond with targeted resilience strategies. Jeongmin Seong, Partner, and Tiago Devesa, Senior Fellow, of the McKinsey Global Institute will share insights from the research.
