The COVID-19 Pandemic highlighted the deficiencies in existing | Observer Research Foundation

The COVID-19 Pandemic highlighted the deficiencies in existing global trading arrangements and supply chain networks. As the world grappled to secure essential supplies, many nations chose a nation first approach. This panel will explore how the BRICS grouping can formulate a 21st century international trading framework, which can serve the needs of the developing and emerging nations. The session will look to put forth a BRICS-led international trading regime that reduces disruptions and streamlines regulations to promote greater flow in goods and services.
