Singapore and New Zealand signed the Agreement on Trade in Essential Supplies (AOTES), the first legally binding bilateral pact to maintain supply chain flow of essential goods during crises by banning unnecessary export restrictions and mandating consultation and information sharing.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Supply Chain.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new legal backdrop that could force supply flow even when commercial contracts typically pause. Review your force majeure clauses now to avoid surprises under state-level trade commitments between Singapore and New Zealand.
