Dear CLN Members and Forwarders,

Time truly flies and once again, I welcome you to the 15th edition of our CLN official newsletter.

For this edition, I will introduce you to the newest members of our network and our most active members.

In here, we will also feed you with what’s the latest in the global freight forwarding sector - overview, forecasts and its impact on globalization which I hope you’ll find it beneficial. We’ll also update you with the global events that the CLN have attended, representing our members including the Multimodal in United Kingdom, Transport Logistic in Germany, The Freight Summit in Malaysia and the recently concluded Air Sea Cargo Americas in Miami.

Just this year, we recently had our CLN 15th Annual Partnership Meeting in Da Nang, Thailand last March 14 to 17, 2017 where we had several new and exciting events including the United Nations Welcome Cocktail, CLN Beach and Awards Dinner, CLN Olympics and CLN Excellence Awards. Thank you very much for those who have attended and I hope that I will see you again in our next conference which we will hold in Bangkok, Thailand this April 3 to 6, 2018.

overview of the gLobaL freight forwarDiNg sector aND itsiMPact oN gLobaLizatioNbY Mark MiLLar

For 2017, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) forecast global trade volume growth of 2.4%.

In the absence of the truly global free trade agreement (FTA) long pursued by the WTO, individual economies have been negotiating their own bilateral or multi-lateral free trade agreements, with over 400 different FTAs notified to the WTO since 1995.

At the same time, populist protectionist sentiment has been on the rise – as witnessed for example with the Brexit and Trump electoral outcomes – increasing the use of trade-restrictive measures such as tariffs. From 2008-2016, over 2,900 trade-restrictive measures were imposed by WTO members, more than half of them by G20 countries – and only 740 measures were removed.

Whilst an encouraging increase on the 1.3% trade growth seen in 2016, it remains well below the global GDP growth predictions of around 3%, reflecting how trade growth has fallen behind GDP growth.

The impact on international trade – and therelated freight flows – is that companies are more frequently reconfiguringtheir supply chains in order to take advantage of the prevailing portfolio of FTA privileges. To ensure the lowest possible duties and taxes, companies are ‘tariff-engineering’ their export-import goods movements in relation to the most advantageous FTA frameworks.

As WTO Director General Roberto Azevêdoarticulated to world leaders at the 2017 World Economic Forum in Davos:

In the WTO’s 2017 annual report, Director General Roberto Azevêdo cautioned:

“These are challenging times for global trade. Economic growth is low; trade growth is low; the threat of protectionism cannot be ignored; and we struggle with the persistent challenges of poverty, inequality and under-development.”

“The net positive effect of trade means nothing if you’ve lost your job. So we need better domestic policies to support people and get them back to work”

A) GLOOMY FORECASTS FOR 2017

Rising labour rates in China and elsewhere in Asia have been gradually eroding the manufacturing cost advantage over developed markets. More and more companies in the USA and Europe are considering moving some of their off-shored production closer to home (near-shoring); or, in fact, bringing production all the way home to produce in the domestic market (re-shoring or on-shoring).

Whatever the terminology, it involves the repatriation of manufacturing activities from remote locations such as China, to geographic regions much closer to the end consumer market.

D) Off-ShOring tO near-ShOring tO re-ShOring

B) PROLIFERATION OF FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS

C) PROTECTIONISM ON THE RISE?

• Shorter distances result in lower transportation costs• Closer-to-home is easier to manage (overcoming some of the challenges of managing across time zones, languages, cultures, business practices and work standards)• Better control over product quality through proximity to suppliers • Mitigates impact of rapidly increasing labour rates, in what were ‘low-cost’ environments • Improved ability and responsiveness to tailor product for local consumer markets • Reduces supply chain risk: less distance, fewerborders, fewercomplications, less risk

However, this is definitely not the end of global trade, with more than 50% of the total traded goods value coming fromthe combined intra-regional trade flows in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.

Near-shoring leverages lower-cost production locations close to the final consumption markets – for example, Mexico for North America and countries like Poland and Hungary to serve Western Europe. North Africa is now also on the agenda as a production base from which to serve the European markets.

Re-shoring initiatives are politically very popular and gain much kudos amongst local communities for resurrecting domestic manufacturing and creating jobs. Developed economies offer easy and economic access to the efficiencies of automation, if required, together with newly available, lower-cost energy sources from the domestic market. With the wide availability of labour seeking gainful employment, coupled with local government incentives and subsidies for job creation, many multinational companies are exploring their re-shoring and near-shoring options, conscious of the increasing challenges and costs of operating complex global supply chain ecosystems.

Hence, for some businesses there will be some– not all – production activities that migrate‘closer-to-home’, adopting near-shoringstrategies that result in supply chain ecosystemsconfigured as ‘Made in North America forAmerica’, or ‘Made in Eastern Europe for Europe’.

All these factors are resulting in a trend beyond globalisation, to more regional supply chains.

E) BENEFITS OF REGIONAL SUPPLY CHAINS:
