How to safeguard your business while expanding along the Belt and Road? Five key questions to ask when signing Belt and Road contracts   By the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)   China’s Belt and Road initiative is set to enhance investment along new economic corridors from Asia to Europe, which means a wealth of cross border business opportunities.   When capitalising on these new opportunities, businesses must however be mindful of potential risks as they prepare contracts. Concluding agreements between parties from countries with very different legal systems, political regimes and cultures, and at different stages of economic development, will inevitably present challenges – and a significant risk of legal disputes. Therefore, businesses must ensure that Belt and Road contracts include an effective dispute resolution clause, agreed upon by all parties.

Various progressive laws have been discussed, in consultation with industry stakeholders and the general public, and as advised by leading law firms.

The Belt & Road (B&R) Initiative, a development strategy proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping that focuses on connectivity and cooperation – with an investment of many billions in railway lines, pipelines, and ports, could provide a boost for international trade – and also for insurance. However, the opportunities that the B&R initiative brings also result in some risks and challenges. B&R will pass through diverse countries spanning Africa, Asia, and Europe, exposing participating companies to political, credit, and security risks. Numerous countries receiving Chinese financing already bear elevated debt levels and B&R will weaken their sovereign credit position further. The Fitch ratings agency warns that the creditworthiness of many countries along the B&R are rated as extremely low. This significantly raises the risks for Chinese banks that are financing parts of the project. Moreover, China’s growing regional influence will elevate geopolitical

Despite being 80 percent more likely to be targeted by hackers than the rest of the world, cyber risk mitigation efforts in the Asia-Pacific region are generally weak.  This can be seen in the low levels of awareness and insufficient cybersecurity investments.  It is also reflected in the lower than necessary cyber insurance adoption rates in Asia. In this paper we begin by realigning the common misconceptions businesses have regarding cyber risk insurance. Then, we recommend a three-pronged approach, which details an action plan to demonstrate to organizations key considerations in moving towards a greater focus on cyber resilience: Effective endpoint security management. First putting in place best practices in cyber-defense, including effective endpoint security and IT infrastructure. As the first line of defense, it is important to continuously upgrade to smarter endpoint security. This can be achieved via threat intelligence to scale up the capabilities of

Cybercrime is becoming a greater risk in doing businesses in Asia-Pacific (APAC) as compared to the West. Rapidly growing connectivity and the accelerating pace of digital transformation expose the APAC region, and make it particularly vulnerable to cyber exploitation. Evidently, according to the 2017 edition of the Global Risks Report, cyber concern around the likelihood and impact of technological threats has sharpened among business executives in APAC, and cyberattacks are ranked among the top 5 risks of doing business in the region. To complicate matters further, the lack of transparency in the region renders weak cyber regulations and enforcements by authorities, as well as low cyber awareness and security investments among corporations. Historically, data breach notification laws have been lacking across the region, bringing forth one key insight – governments and policy-makers have yet to recognize the importance of transparency in the battle against cyberattacks.

Thousands of years ago, the Silk Road carried goods and spices from trading cities in China and central Asia through to cities like Baghdad and Venice. It was one of the world’s earliest examples of transcontinental infrastructure. Right now the world’s infrastructure is getting ready for a 21st century upgrade. China’s “One Belt, One Road” policy initiative is looking to echo the past glories of the Silk Road, connecting Asia to Europe by land and sea. The project is piecemeal, and there’s little idea of its total cost, but some estimate it to be at least $1 trillion. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged his own $1 trillion infrastructure plan, designed to renovate the country’s crumbling infrastructure, stimulate the economy and grow jobs. It’s expected that, despite the current political climate, a proposed infrastructure bill could garner warm bipartisan support. That could be good news – any functioning econ
