The Policy Center for the New South (PCNS), in partnership with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), will hold a workshop at the occasion of the launch of the “Free Trade Zone Risk Assessment Tool”, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 9th 2021 at 3pm GMT. It has been demonstrated that, despite global advances like the publication of the OECD Code of Conduct for Clean Free Trade Zones (FTZs), private-sector businesses often find it difficult to distinguish between compliant (clean) and non-compliant (risky) FTZs. To remedy this gap, RUSI has developed a freely available online risk assessment tool that helps banks, insurance companies, shipping lines and freight forwarders assess their exposure to the risk of facilitating crime as a result of operating in an FTZ. This Free Trade Zone Risk Assessment tool enables businesses to assess their exposure to the risk of facilitating illicit trade or financial crime in any FTZ. Distinguish between FTZs that already comply with international standards and those that do not and dispel the perception that all FTZs are always high-risk. In this context, this workshop will feature a presentation of the tool and a discussion among experts on the challenges and best practices of assessing the risks of illicit trade and financial crime in FTZs. 15:00 -15:10 Introduction to the Panel Anton Moiseienko, Research Fellow, Centre for Financial Crime & Security Studies, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Alexandria Reid, Research Fellow, Organised Crime and Policing, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) 15:10 -15:30 Presentation of the Free Trade Zone Risk Assessment Tool Anton Moiseienko, Research Fellow, Centre for Financial Crime & Security Studies, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) 15:30 -16:10 Debate “The Moroccan Experience” Ilham Khalil, Ilham Khalil, Marketing, Communications and Corporate Relations Director, Tanger Med Youssef Briga, Head of the Investment and Free Zones Office, Administration des Douanes et Impôts Indirects Thomas Dournon, Strategic Governance Advisory, Business Intelligence, Risk & Compliance 16:10 -16:30 Q&A About the Speakers : Moiseienko Anton, Research Fellow, Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Alexandria Reid, Research Analyst, Organised Crime and Policing, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Ilham Khalil, Marketing, Communications and Corporate Relations Director, Tanger Med Thomas Dournon, Strategic Governance Advisory, Business Intelligence, Risk & Compliance Youssef Briga, Head of the Investment and Free Zones Office, Administration des Douanes et Impôts Indirects

    The irony facing many developing countries today is that increased food trade and the implications of globalization has created a situation where certain segments of the population are simply put, eating too much, while just in their proximity lies a more significant segment of the population who are suffering from the complete opposite, malnutrition. This policy brief aims at explaining this double sided sword. ...

    President Trump’s proclamation that, because of national security concerns, he will apply a 25% tariff on all steel and a 10% tariff on all aluminium imports into the United States – except provisionally and dependent on NAFTA negotiations those from Canada and Mexico – affects, respectively 5.1 billion Euros and 1.1 billion Euros of EU exports. These are not trivial sums. However, the invocation of the national security exception in this case has implications that go far beyond nar ...

    L’agriculture africaine a connu dernièrement une croissance relativement élevée, quoique peu résiliente et tirée principalement par l’extensification. Malgré sa diversité, les niveaux de production restent insuffisants pour autonomiser le continent surtout pour ce qui est des produits alimentaires de base. En misant sur l’intégration, des marges de progrès se présentent aux pays africains pour améliorer l’écosystème de l’agriculture africaine et ses performances. Il s’agit de puiser ...

    President Trump’s actions on trade have not quite matched his rhetoric, but the worst may be to come. Though the political opposition to his protectionism is formidable, so are his conviction and determination and he possesses a wide array of instruments to pursue his goals. The trade doctrine he has espoused makes for trade policy instability both at home and abroad. It may lead to a large deterioration in the operating environment of international business. America’s tradedependen ...

While such an ambitious goal will clearly involve a wide range of policies and actors, this policy brief focuses on the role of trade policies in affecting food and nutrition security. Extensive and frequently contentious, debate swirls about whether trade in agricultural products is beneficial or detrimental for food security, pa ...

    After many decades of expansion, incomes and standards of living have never been better in many parts of the world. Yet, global trade and the prospects of growth still seem uncertain, and protectionism seems to be on the rise. In developed countries, there is anxiety over the loss of the manufacturing jobs that once absorbed a large share of the labor force and created a middle class that formed the core of democracy. Most middle-income countries have not yet been able to make the t ...

    Current technological developments in manufacturing are likely to lead to a partial reversal of the wave of fragmentation and global value chains that was at the core of the rise of North-South trade from 1990 onwards. At the same time, China – the main hub of the global-growth-cum-structural-change of that period - may attempt to extend the previous wave through its “One Belt, One Road” initiative. ...

    Despite the threat posed by right-wing nationalism, left wing populism, and protectionism, this is not the end of globalization. The most likely scenario is a continuation of globalization at a rate like that of the last ten years and perhaps even acceleration as the world catches up on lost time in the wake of the financial crisis and its many aftershocks. However, in recent years a formidable resistance to globalization has arisen, and the risk of a sharp and temporary slowdown in ...
