Singapore seeking new alliances and WTO reform amid trade volatility
As we head into the new year, the outlook on global trade is being rewritten - with more tariffs, tighter controls on tech, and supply chains pulled in different directions. In the first of a four-part series, we look at how Singapore is racing to keep her markets open, competitive and connected.

We also spoke with Suan Teck Kin, Executive Director and Head of Research at UOB for his insights on the changing landscape.
