About this event NEW DATE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12 Global trade tensions pose considerable challenges for small countries that are highly dependent on foreign trade, such as Cambodia. Exports of local enterprises can easily be entangled in anti-dumping or countervailing procedures in their export markets as protectionist measures are on the rise, and regional economies are affected by the wider implications of the US-China trade war and EU-US tensions. Solar panels, electric vehicles, agricultural products, paper folders, mattresses, bicycles, and car parts are just some of the recent trade remedy discussions and proceedings that have impacted Cambodia, directly or indirectly. However, defensively, Cambodia has yet to take its own trade remedy measures to protect its market from unfair trade practices. This highly practical briefing uses examples and interesting case-studies to explain how trade remedies affect your local or export position, and what measures you can take to protect yourself from losing market share.
