Growth Beyond Borders Capitalizing on the rise of South-South Trade
9 April 2014, Harvard Club of New York City
The formation of new South-South trading routes, linking Asia with
the Middle East, Emerging Europe, Africa and Latin America is revolutionizing
the global economy. Slower growth in the developed world combined with
rising consumption and growing middle class, demographics and demand for raw
materials is leading emerging markets to create mutually beneficial economic
and financial connections between each other, which are fundamentally reshaping
traditional patterns of world trade.
For businesses and institutions this presents new opportunities
for global growth and expansion, tapping into the dynamics of this high
potential trade corridor. The stakes are high with ongoing social,
political and economic challenges existing between emerging nations. How
do you balance the rewards versus the risks to maximize the growth
possibilities of South-South trade?
Last month the Financial Times and HSBC bought
together a panel of distinguished speakers to discuss how global organizations
can maximize the potential that South-South trade offers and how to craft
strategies for successful growth in this new world economy. The well-attended
event facilitated candid and informative discussion on developing and
delivering future strategies.
