Better logistics for better supply chain connectivity
Mia Mikic & Sherry M. Stephenson
What are logistics? From the perspective of late 2022 asking this question may appear ridiculous. The term has been used so much in all aspects of our lives for the last three years that we feel we can intimately relate to it. But do we know what it actually is? The APEC region took the lead in 2022 in pushing forward a better understanding of the important but often underappreciated logistics activities to examine their role in moving essential goods across borders.
2021 - The Year Trade Turned to Women
Due to the pandemic, 2021 will forever be remembered as the year when trade turned to women. Not only are the key global trade institutions all helmed by women, but their memberships’ collective mindset shifted to allow for the removal of the gender-neutral blindfolds and concrete advances in the informal work program among several WTO. It is vital to maintain the momentum of 2021 and build on it in 2022 and beyond.
