CNA938 Rewind - No export bans, even in crisis: Inside Singapore-New Zealand supply chain resilience pact

It’s the first agreement of its kind, designed to lock in supply chain resilience through legally binding commitments. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman look at how solid this safety net is when national interests collide and how formalising deep interdependence makes both countries more secure – or more vulnerable. For that, they speak with Ben Charoenwong, Associate Professor of Finance, INSEAD.
