The future of trade and growth in Asia

The Lunar New Year celebrates renewal, resilience, and fresh beginnings across much of Asia and around the globe. These themes feel especially resonant in today’s economic and geopolitical landscape.

Global trade patterns are undergoing a profound shift, with Asia strengthening its position as one of the most highly integrated trading regions in the world. “This interconnectivity, coupled with Asia’s preeminence in future growth sectors, such as AI and other disruptive technologies, means that the region’s leaders have the opportunity to drive the evolution of new trade alliances and corridors—reshaping the geometry of global trade itself,” writes Senior Partner Gautam Kumra.
