My Vision – International Cross Border Trade
The world is increasingly becoming one big marketplace with global economies becoming increasingly interlinked and interdependent. This of course leads to an amazing range of business opportunities, available to merchants from around the globe. Recent estimates have suggested that the cross-border market has grown from $401bn in 2016 to $994 billion in 2020. However with cross border trading comes lots of challenges, complexities, uncertainties, ever-changing terrains, trade regulations and border controls for all stakeholders. international supply chains. Today’s international business enterprise needs to combine local market knowledge, with a good technological resource staying current on the latest changes in tariffs, trade agreements, and restrictions on the free flow of data in an uncertain political climate.
Talking Trade & Investment Global, Canada (TATRIG) and FemiBoyede Consulting (Nigeria) Limited, in collaboration with the Network of Practicing Non-oil Exporters of Nigeria (NPNEN)held a 1-day hybrid event:
National Policy Dialogue on Non-oil Exports, 2023.
Theme: Prioritizing non-oil exports as catalyst for Nigeria’s economic revitalization.
Date held: Wednesday, September 6, 2023
Background to the Event
The non-oil export sector holds a veritable solution to the dwindling foreign reserves and the falling value of the nation’s currency, the Nigerian Naira. The need to diversify Nigeria’s economy from crude oil, which has remained our major export over the past several decades, cannot be overemphasized, especially at this time when the fuel subsidy removal has plunged many Nigerians into the poverty net due to unprecedented inflation rates, and the weakened purchasing power this has brought.
Indeed, there is no better time than now to collectively find solutions to the challenges plaguing Nigeria’s non-oil export sector from both the demand and supply sides and to create an enabling environment for non-oil exports to thrive.
To this end, Talking Trade & Investment Global, the Network of Practicing Non-oil Exporters of Nigeria and their media partners, BusinessDay and Premium Times, hosted a one-day critical stakeholders dialogue on non-oil exports.
