LoadstarEditorial February 7, 2024
In this episode of the Loadstar podcast, we explore the complex interplay between politics and global supply chains against the backdrop of the UK election scheduled for the 4th of July.
The conversation will span several key areas, starting with an update on freight rates before moving to analysis of how elections in major economies such as the United States, Mexico, Indonesia, India and South Africa will affect global trade.
This episode focuses on ports, planning and investment and also looks at how the UK elections will impact the logistics sector. Insights are shared about potential changes to trade policy and how this will affect UK industry and consumers.
In addition, the podcast will consider the impact of Brexit on UK trade and logistics, explore the challenges that have arisen and identify opportunities for improvement in a post-Brexit context.
