The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape.

With significant supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tension and the apparent return of economic nationalism over the last couple of years, it has been argued a period of decoupling and deglobalisation is underway, with global trade being reordered along regional lines. How important is this trend, and is it here to stay? What are the opportunities and risks of increased regionalisation in trade?
