Trade Fragmentation: The Downstream Consequence of Systemic Stress
How fractured commerce and payment systems reveal deeper global economic realignments
Overview
Global trade networks are increasingly splitting into regional and strategic blocs as geopolitical tensions, sanctions regimes, and financial fragmentation intensify.
