Policy themes

Where trade policy meets regional finance

Development finance

Institutional financing frameworks

We examine how regional development banks and institutional financing frameworks structure investment, and what those arrangements mean for trade and infrastructure across southern economies.

Regional trade pacts

Bilateral settlement and regional agreements

Our work maps the regional trade pacts and emerging bilateral settlement mechanisms that determine how goods and capital move between partner economies.

Resource security

Resource sovereignty and logistics

We evaluate how resource sovereignty, industrial policy, and logistics infrastructure combine to shape supply chain resilience and long-term access to critical commodities.

Perspective
