Exclusive: "Digital trade isn't scaling", says ICC DSI, following governance overhaul
P
4:58Pamela MarGUEST
[laughs] The, the truth is that, um, we looked the problem in the face, and we realized that actually digital trade isn't scaling.
P
5:07Pamela MarGUEST
Um, all of our, the industry celebration over single pilots, over the crawling advance of EBL adoption right now at 12.8%, um, it shows us that actually our current efforts and our current approach, um, are inadequate to the task at hand.
P
5:26Pamela MarGUEST
And the trade finance gap that you mentioned is actually a symptom of this, um, of this problem that trade is unequal.
P
5:34Pamela MarGUEST
Trade has a structural problem, and digitalization has the ability to actually begin to right that structural imbalance, but only if we do it in a really scalable manner.
P
5:48Pamela MarGUEST
So what's gone wrong so far is that, um, we see accelerating fragmentation, the rise of digital islands, the rise of platforms in order to connect the digital islands, um, and these solutions haven't worked.
P
6:06Pamela MarGUEST
Um, and so now is the time that the governance board, um, and DSI have basically said, "Okay, we need a new approach." We, we do have elements of the approach.
