Live Debate | Commodity Trading and Development – Geneva

SINGAPORE-ECONOMY-TRADEThe live debate focuses on commodity trading. While this sector has become of strategic importance to Switzerland’s economy, it also entails a number of risks. Swiss development cooperation focuses on several resource-rich countries, whose mineral and agricultural commodities are traded via Switzerland. Being a top trading hub, how can Switzerland assist these countries to reap the benefits of their natural resource wealth?

The live debate draws on the policy debate published by the journal International Development Policy.
