The September 2019 edition of the BUlletin addresses the changing dynamics of the geopolitical landscape which are weaving their way through the fibers of international trade. Jean-Francois Lambert and Dr. Rebecca Harding each take a view on the outlook for trade in this uncertain environment.

Meanswhile, as UKEF celebrate their 100th anniversay, Louis Taylor and Kimberly Wiehl reflect on the evolution of export credit institutions and the industry at large. ICIEC also celebrate an anniversary - 25 years - and mark the occasion with a call for internaiotnal cooperation to meet development objectives.

Finally, we welcome a new sector spotlight with contributions from GIEK (on shipping exports) and SERV (on pharma exports)
