Latest on International Trade Magazine: BCG Report Highlights Geopolitical Shifts Reshaping Global Trade

BCG’s analysis highlights the strengthening of North America as a resilient trade bloc. The US, Mexico, and Canada are deepening economic ties through reshoring, nearshoring, and "friendshoring," reducing dependence on China. Trade between the US and Mexico is projected to surge by $315 billion, with US-Canada trade increasing by $147 billion within the next decade. In contrast, China is pivoting towards the Global South as trade with the US and EU slows. China's trade with developing nations is expected to grow by $1.25 trillion, though its overall trade growth will slow to 2.7% annually, down from the 4% recorded between 2017 and 2022.

Latest on International Trade Magazine: Europa helps boost campaign to ease the pain of congestion on the Dartford Crossing

Kirsty Dean, Marketing & Communications Director at Europa Worldwide Group, said: “It isn’t uncommon for Europa to witness severe traffic delays on the Dartford Crossing, particularly if there are problems on the M25 (the UK’s busiest motorway).

“On December 12th, 2024, at the height of Europa’s pre-Christmas peak, half of the company’s drivers were still trying to return to Dartford’s ‘1Hub’ at 20:30 following an M25 closure. During peak periods, when our freight services are in high demand, this really puts pressure on our local infrastructure.

“Congestion can cause thousands of pounds worth of delays and contingency plans for us, our customers and British business. Delays in transit pose a risk to reputations, not to mention the financial consequences of having to make alternative arrangements to meet consumer demand.

“There is also a huge personal cost to local people, who are having to spend extra hours on the road. It’s not uncommon for our colleagues in Dartford to have difficulty with things like school pickups and drop offs, having to rely on family members if they’re not going to make it on time. Quite often, the traffic they face can be soul-destroying before their working day has even started.” Kirsty added.

Latest on International Trade Magazine: Advancing UK Innovation, Sustainability, and Global Trade

"The global security position is the most complex, contested and competitive than it has been in 35 years. 96% of all UK trade is carried on the oceans and 99% of its internet and financial transactions, under the oceans, in the undersea cable network. The clod is not in space, but under our oceans! The UK is a global maritime and a global underwater power. The vital strategic importance of the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific are “indivisible” and they are co-joined by the Arctic Ocean. If you stand on the East Coast of England, where the Greenwich Meridian bisects the British coast, there is no land between there until you reach Pacific Russia. This is what AUKUS Pillar 1 - its submarine component - is about. Generating and building the world’s most advanced design of nuclear submarine for the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy. if one secures underwater dominance by submarines and air dominance by the GCAP programme, we secure the next 70 years of global stability, security and prosperity.
