How Tokenisation And Digital Currencies Are Changing The Future of Trade

With the transcendence of digital money and technology, trade and trade finance is experiencing a major overhaul. A $5.2 trillion global trade finance ecosystem exists today, worth 6% of global GDP, so the sector's performance affects the health of the future world economy. In the latest episode of The Next Five, we look at how emerging technological developments across the financial system, such as tokenisation and the emergence of digital currencies are changing how the world trades. Karin Flinspach, Managing Director and Regional Head, Transaction Banking Europe & Americas at Standard Chartered Bank, joins us to offer insight into trade finance and the outlook for large organisations in a digital trade landscape. Tim Davis, Global & US Risk & Financial Advisory Blockchain & Digital Assets Leader at Deloitte & Touche LLP, digs deeper into the emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and what they could mean for trade. Jason Thompson, CEO of Partior, a blockchain powered value exchange, gives his expertise on the role of blockchain and what it means for the whole value chain of trade exchange and transactions.
