JOIN US FOR GLOBAL ANTI-ILLICIT TRADE SUMMIT, SOUTH-EAST ASIA

Long before covid-19 locked down populations and brought supply chains to a halt
around the globe, illicit trade was booming. With the fallout from the pandemic
spurring unemployment and reducing purchasing power, consumers have turned to
the black market in increasing numbers. And as the basic laws of economics
dictate, where there is demand there will be supply.

 

Illicit trade takes place the world over, but South-East Asia has its own unique
set of challenges. Home to some of Asia’s richest and poorest countries, the
region is marked by stark disparities in customs oversight, law-enforcement
capacity and IP protection.

 

As the region’s internal integration grows, with the Regional Comprehensive
Economic Partnership the latest in a long line of free-trade agreements, new
challenges and vulnerabilities are coming to the fore. Removing barriers to
trade may stimulate growth and support business, but lax borders are a
criminal’s dream. Stopping smugglers in their tracks and getting ahead of their
movements requires unprecedented integration and collaboration across borders,
governments and jurisdictions.

 

Illicit trade robs countries and industries of critical revenue and threatens
the region’s economic, social and environmental development, but the issue
remains a low priority on the international—and regional—political agenda.
