IMEA Supply Chain Digest
Navigating today's global marketplace demands unprecedented adaptability. The year 2024 is proof of this, as it witnessed sudden shifts in trade patterns and supply chain dynamics. As a result, businesses have been facing both challenges as well as opportunities to stay resilient and grow.
The latest edition of the IMEA Supply Chain Digest delves deep into these transformative times, offering supply chain leaders a strategic lens to view the evolving marketplace across the Indian subcontinent, Middle East, and Africa.
Key Highlights from the IMEA Supply Chain Digest
Indian Subcontinent
India continues to solidify its position as a formidable economic and geopolitical force with investment-driven growth, while Bangladesh and Pakistan recover. Across the region, infrastructure upgrades and better connectivity aim to ease supply chain bottlenecks.
Bangladesh banks on reforms and mega projects for stability, while Pakistan’s path to sustainability hinges on fiscal restraint and structural changes. Afghanistan’s future depends on improving livelihoods and essential services, but political instability and restrictions on women remain roadblocks.
Middle East
Geopolitical tensions cast a long shadow, impacting Jordan’s logistics, but trade agreements and infrastructure upgrades are expected to drive growth. Economic diversification is advancing in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The UAE is expanding ports, free zones, and connectivity while integrating AI and IoT to strengthen global supply chains.
Saudi Arabia sees record tourism growth, declining unemployment, and SAR 40 billion in investment opportunities. Qatar’s growth is stabilising with strategic investments in infrastructure, smart logistics, and a sustainable financial system.
Africa
