In an interview with Bloomberg Asia, BCG’s Asia-Pacific Chair, Neeraj Aggarwal, analyzes Asia’s growing role as a trade powerhouse. BCG’s latest global trade report affirms that the Global South will continue to rise as a force in world trade, bolstered by strong economies in India and Southeast Asia. “Trade has been flatlining in the world in general, but Asia is punching way above its weight,” Aggarwal asserts, adding that, regardless of new economic policies, Asian nations are expected to prosper.
