What is the potential impact of current and future geopolitical risks on supply chain resilience? Which sectors are most exposed? What actions does the UK need to take, potentially along with international partners, to boost supply chain resilience whilst maintaining the benefits of trade and financial openness given such risks?
Background
The International section covers a range of issues that reflect HM Treasury's responsibility for promoting and protecting the UK's international economic interests, ensuring the country thrives in an ever-changing global economy. It also relates to the department's important role on the international stage, with responsibilities for trade and customs policy, sanctions policy and cooperating with other countries in forums such as the G7, G20, IMF and others.
