International trade is vital for the global economy, and is an important factor in raising living standards, providing employment, and enabling consumers to enjoy a greater variety of goods. Since the earliest civilizations, trade has become increasingly important with a larger share of GDP devoted to exports and imports. Thus, international trade plays an important role in improving living standards and reducing poverty levels, as well as creating the economics for environmental and climate targets. However, if trade is to remain a driving force for growth, job creation, and poverty reduction, free trade needs to be green and resilient.

What does this entail for the maritime industry? What is the role of world trade moving forward and what will world trade look like? How can the maritime industry contribute and how do the maritime industry ensure both a resilient and green trade moving forward?

Welcome to DSM Commercial and Financing Meet 2023 and learn more about the importance and future of maritime trade.

The importance and challenge of free, green and resilient trade

The benefits of international trade are obvious, and trade plays a driving force for growth, job creation and poverty reduction. Free trade needs to be green, resilient and provide for an inclusive development.

The tension between trade’s supporters and detractors is based up on the fact that although the gains from trade are positive, they may accrue unequally between countries. Lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian aggression and invasion of Ukraine reveal the delicate supply chains and importance of resilience. In addition, the climate crisis is raising attention on the sustainability of trade. How do we ensure the development of a green, free and resilient trade? What are the challenges for shipping moving forward?
