How do you see that? How is it affecting insurance costs now as a result, especially when you say essentially traffic is at a standstill now?

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
So what happens is since February, the cost of ensuring a container has increased exponentially.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
So even if they were saying that the Strait was open or closed, that wasn't actually the issue.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
It was becoming more about can a container, can a company actually afford to now ensure its ships to go through? Now, if you're looking, I think Lloyds is having the committee at Lloyds of London that designates high-risk waters.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
And if it adds the Southern Red Sea to that list, shipping costs will jump up automatically across the industry.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
And that's the fastest and the most honest signal that the Ritz has crossed the line.

And do you think the markets are underappreciating that and also the inflation effect as a result?

Arati, how, how about you from y- where you're sitting? Do you think the next secretary-general has the tools to, to make this happen?

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
So I have a slightly different vantage point on this, but on this note, I would fully agree with Martin and Sigrid.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
There are two things for me that is really pointed at this point in time for what the secretary-general is inheriting.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
A, that, um, exactly as Sigrid said, the politics of the moment is far too divided and transactional.

Arathi KrishnanGUEST
The playbook that the UN is used to deploying isn't fit for the types of crises we're facing, and it's falling back on old playbooks of the past, assuming that member states can come together, that ultimately every party wants the same thing, and that's not true anymore.

Jasmin BaoumyHOST
So I'm wondering, Ar- Aarathi, um, what, what could or should the next secretary-general do in order to prepare? Like, what's blinking right now on their dashboard? What's the thing that they should be thinking of?
