A 1200 survey of the leaders of the companies elasticity, digitization and the supply chain shows shifts in the trade strategy.
The Standard Charged report highlights the complex and unconfirmed future for the flexibility of the trade chain and the global supply chain, according to a survey of 1,200 corporate leaders from July to early August 2025. The main strategic engines of the three years to the next five include customs tariffs, emerging technologies, global economic growth, which classifies 53 % of Companies.
Sofia Hamuta, head of commercial currencies and capital capital at Standard Charterd, notes that the tariff concerns, although it still exists, has shrunk since the pulse was wiped in April. This change is linked to commercial deals after implementation and increasing interest in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, which has expanded the concentration of companies along with immediate tariff fears.
Although, a margin says, “The tariff status is still uncertain as negotiations are continuing with major economies such as China and India, with the expectation of various fees across the upcoming sectors. Based on our talks with our customers, it is expected that winding messages and other issues will be similar in the short term.”
To move in these challenges and opportunities, companies adopt a multi -side strategy. Nearly 57 % intend to control the treasury administration, increase digitization, and reorganize their supply chains.
“We are likely to see more synergy between these strategies to move forward, with the rise of digital supply chain financing platforms (SCF),” explains. “These platforms will give companies a better vision when the treasury management in light of the FX market is more volatile this year, in addition to communicating with suppliers in other markets – which helps them take the first step to reorganize geographical supply chains.”
The bank’s research indicates that approximately 40 % of companies are currently using SCF platforms, and it is expected to adopt an additional 55 % during the next two years, allowing them to enhance flexibility in this dynamic environment. The distinctive text is already written and information rich. It effectively transmits the main message about companies that give priority to flexibility amid the challenges of the chain chain and the supply chain.
Ultimately, these pre -emptive and technical strategies that prove to be necessary for companies not only for mobility, but also flourish in the increasingly complex global trade scene.
