Last week I attended #TDI24 in #Berlin organized by the BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V. and contributed to the panel with the title “ Never Waste a Good Crisis – How Should Companies Handle a Fragmenting Global Economy?” One aspect I raised is that German businesses currently have to manage two major challenges at the same time: the green transition and a changing geopolitical landscape. See parts of my intervention here: https://lnkd.in/eMh6KFAU. Today I arrived in #Dublin where I will raise similar aspects in my keynote address on “Global Trade and Climate Action” at the Trade Horizons Conference of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment : https://lnkd.in/er_Yegag To learn more about the OECD - OCDE’s strategy to support open markets and a rules based international trading system in the light of multiple challenges and frequent change, check our trade strategy: https://lnkd.in/eUbZ-DqN

Our New Industrial Policy Observatory (NIPO) is a collaboration between the Global Trade Alert and experts at the International Monetary Fund. Now over 3,500 industrial policy interventions taken since the start of 2023 have been documented. This week's IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings saw the IMF publish four more new reports that cited NIPO statistics. These were picked up in news articles published by The New York Times, Financial Times, El Pais, and the NEUE ZURICHER ZEITUNG. In addition, the prestigious Lowy Institute in Australia cited Digital Policy Alert findings. A chapter in the new Handbook of International Business Policy cited Global Trade Alert findings too. Thanks to our hardworking global team for their contributions and to our partners and friends around the world. Let's not forget the spirit of the #Enlightenment in these tumultuous times. #trade #transparency #accountability #protectionism #industrialpolicy #subsidy #business #geopolitics #fragmentation Juma Al Kait Anabel González Takehiko Matsuo Federico Banos-Lindner Dennis Lister Keika Lee Graham L.
