WELLCOME
Ladies and gentlemen my name is Henry Nanai I am the company’s supervisor, and I will be
your speaker for today.
Today I will be talking about the IMPACT THE VIRUS MAY HAVE ON OUR TADE
BUSINESSES WITH CHINA
INTRODUCTION
THE IMPACT THE VIRUS MAY HAVE ON OUR TRADE BUSINESSES WITH CHINA

1. Because exporters and importers are currently experiencing very significant disruptions to global supply chains. Although some
manufacturers may be looking to source products from China, the reality is a lot of their raw components come from China.

2. The Outbreak of Covid 19 which started in China in December 2019 has since spread to the rest of the World and was recognized as
a Pandemic on March 2020. It has been declared a public health emergency of International concern by World Health Organization.
As of recent estimates there are about fifteen million cases in the world with over half a million deaths.

3. This global pandemic has led to market failure in most countries around the world and a decline in global economic growth prospects.
Its adverse effects on trade are projected to be more severe because it has impacted both aggregate demand and supply leading to
the disruptions in global value chains especially in the trade of essential goods and services. Hence the collapse in the production
activity as well as the breakdown in logistics network has severe implications for producer and consumers in various countries.

The increasing spread of the virus has caused a significant amounts of governments to introduce measures that shut down businesses and have
restricted the movement of goods and people.
 TWO MAIN KEY POINTS
 WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS ON OUR TRADE BUSINESSES WITH CHINA?

 HOW WE IDENTIFY CONCRETE ACTIONS THAT COULD HELP ALLEVIATE

THE IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON TRADE BUSINESSES
 BODY
• WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS ON OUR TRADE BUSINESSES WITH CHINA?

 Our businesses have experienced major disruptions as a result of Covid 19 including those
businesses in offshore markets. Disruptions experienced by our exporters have had flow on effects to
the domestic economy. There are no formal restrictions on market access for the vast majorities of
goods exports and imports as a result of Covid 19, but the global pandemic continues to place
pressure on global supply chains and is disrupting trade flows and the wider international economy.

 Our Primary Industry exporters continues to experience a level of disruptions to their trade in a
numbers of markets due to issues related to delay in ports and the wider global transport network.
Our country has been able to watch as the situation evolved in China and other regions. As
consequence, the country rapidly implemented strict measures to limit and contain the spread.
 CURRENT SITUATIONS EXPERIENCED
BY EXPORTERS AND IMPORTERS
 COVID 19 Pandemic is putting global supply chains under pressure and disrupting trade.
 Our country is working with our trading partners to help ensure that trade continues to flow
unimpeded, to remove any existing trade restrictive measures on essential goods especially
medical supplies to protect supply chains and to keep critical infrastructure such as air and
seaports open.
 There is ongoing international concern related to reports of ports that have been impacted
by logistical delays such as reduced storage and inspection facilities due to impact of
COVID 19.
HOW WE IDENTIFY CONCRETE ACTIONS THAT COULD HELP
ALLEVIATE THE IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON TRADE BUSINESSES?

• Working to ensure the flow of goods and services in global supply chains.

We will be seeking help/advices from our Government Agencies

 To facilitate the timely flow of goods including essential supplies by ensuring its operation of
logistics network via air, sea and land freight. i.e. Promote transparency of import and export
regulations to facilitate continued movement of goods and services.

 Refrain from the introduction of export prohibitions or restrictions, tariffs and non-tariff
barriers on essential goods, including food, pharmaceuticals and critical medical supplies.
This underscores the importance of preserving the ability of countries to import essential
medical supplies, pharmaceuticals and food to meet their/our domestic needs. i.e. If such
measures are instituted, we have to that measures are transparent and consistent.
• MINIMIZING THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON TRADE

We will be seeking help/advices from Government Agencies

 To develop and share best practices including t for those ensuring flows of goods and
services that are adversely affected by the pandemic.

 To engage actively with the private sector to design and implement measures in a businesses
friendly manner and to work together for creative solutions.
 SOLUTIONS
 Our government agencies are working together to provide support for exporters and
importers experiencing difficult resulting from COVID 19 and recommending that exporters
stay in close contact with importers when planning and tracking exports as they will have
the most up to date information on any logistical in the region.

 The duration of New Zealand businesses restrictions under COVID 19 alert levels in
uncertain and will mostly depend on how fast the country can flatten the curve (.i.e slow the
spread of the virus over time) and reduce the number of the new cases. If the lockdown
succeeds, social distancing measures will be erased, and non-essential businesses will be
able to reopen.
 CONCLUSION
 A pandemic outbreak of the magnitude of the coronavirus has caught companies and whole industries
off guard with a shockwave of ripple effects tearing through their supply chain and businesses.
 During the height of the pandemic the focus has been on protecting trade flows and supply chain to
ensure that our New Zealanders can access essential goods like medicines, medical supplies etc…and
that our goods continue to reach our trading partners.
 The current Covid 19 pandemic has caused disruption through all sectors with various degrees of
impact.
 It is time for us to rapidly assess, recover and respond quickly through numerous obstacles and
challenges that still stand in the way.
 Through the chaos of recovery, it will be very easy to overlook the root cause and gaps within a supply
chain that may have paralyzed our businesses during this unpredictable major event in the first place.
