Your invitation to Global Anti-Illicit Trade Summit
| | | |
I have the pleasure of inviting you to join Economist Impact at "Global Anti-Illicit Trade Summit, South-East Asia" in Manila, Philippines. Supported by Japan Tobacco International, this free-to-attend event will take place in-person on May 18th.
I'll be joined by experts across policy, law enforcement and industry to examine how illicit trade can be combated in South-East Asia. The region has its own unique set of challenges–home to some of Asia's richest and poorest countries, the region is marked by stark disparities in customs oversight, law-enforcement capacity and IP protection.
We'll address key questions such as:
- How can collaborative systems be forged to counteract any potentially adverse effects of greater integration between markets?
- What are the priorities of the new Philippine government in tackling illicit trade? What does this mean for the region?
- Where are the greatest opportunities for collaboration between private and public stakeholders?
- What are some of the notable recent lessons learnt, especially from the covid-19 pandemic, and how can these be applied to policies, regulations and stakeholder strategies?
