The global trade environment has become increasingly uncertain due to de-globalization, protectionism, and regionalization of the global supply chains. These trends have been accelerated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In this environment, new issues such as economic security, digital trade, technology, climate change and energy are emerging. These changes have increased the need for trade cooperation among Korea, the EU and the United States. This requires new trade strategies which go beyond traditional trade policies such as FTAs.
Please join KIEP, the KF-VUB Korea Chair, and KEI for discussions by former senior officials and experts on the policies necessary to address these new trade issues.
