HEADLINES: The environment is taking up much global news at present, with the COP26 summit being held in just two weeks. We examine China’s position in terms of its direction as concerns eco-biodiversity, future transport connectivity and an overview of the upcoming event. Regionally, we look at important upcoming trade issues that will impact global supply chains with discussions underway involving the CPTPP, China, ASEAN, India, and Russia. We drill down deeper into investment opportunities through the Hong Kong - Greater Bay Area’s ‘Wealth Connect’ programme, and look at trade developments in India, Indonesia and Vietnam and look at why the International North-South Transportation Corridor now favours Armenia rather than Azerbaijani routing - a key issue for the transshipment of goods between Asia and Europe; and examine the new developing Polar Silk Roads.
