SUMMARY:SIIA Talk | U.S. Tariff Turbulence: Legal Uncertainty in Washington and What It Means for ASEAN Business
DESCRIPTION:As Washington moves beyond the one-year anniversary of “Liberation Day” tariffs in April\, U.S. tariff policy remains in flux. Legal challenges and court rulings have raised fundamental questions about the authority underpinning recent trade measures\, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this year that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unconstitutional. U.S. importers are already pursuing refund claims against the federal government. In response\, the Trump administration introduced a temporary 10 per cent tariff under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act\, which allows tariffs of up to 15 per cent for a maximum of 150 days without Congressional approval. That temporary authority is set to expire in late July\, although President Trump has expressed support for increasing the rate to 15 per cent. Developments in Washington continue to create uncertainty over the sustainability and legal durability of these measures. \n\nHow is the current U.S trade policy turbulence reshaping business confidence in the direction and credibility of future trade relations?\nWhat are the implications for ASEAN economies as trade policy and geopolitics become more intertwined?\nWhat does it mean for the reliability of agreement with Washington if new U.S tariffs bypass existing trade arrangements?\n\nSpeakers:\nMr. Alex Feldman\, Partner\, The Asia Group\nMs. Elizabeth Chelliah\, Principal Trade Consultant\, CFOTI\, Singapore Business Federation (SBF); former Principal Trade Specialist (PTS)\, Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI)\, Republic of Singapore  \nModerator: Mr. Simon Tay\, Chairman\, Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) \nProgramme \n \nRegistration Form\nThank you for your interest in our event.

SUMMARY:SIIA Talk | Beyond Energy: Asia’s Economic Vulnerabilities to the Strait of Hormuz Disruptions
DESCRIPTION:The disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have impacts both for the energy market and beyond. While oil and gas supply shocks remain the immediate concern\, the wider effects are felt across shipping\, transport\, manufacturing\, agriculture\, and food supply chains. This talk will examine the broader long term economic implications of the crisis for Asia\, regardless of whether the tensions ease. It will look beyond immediate energy supply concerns to consider the potential impact on trade\, business costs\, inflation\, food prices\, and longer-term economic resilience.  \n\nHow might disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz reshape global and Asian energy market and Asia’s broader economic outlook? \n\n\n Where are the biggest vulnerabilities for Asian economies if elevated risks persist? \n\n\nWhat does this crisis reveal about the vulnerabilities and resilience of Asian economies? \n\nSpeakers:\n– Ms. Tan Sue-Ern\, Head\, International Energy Agency Regional Cooperation Centre\n– Ms. Denise Cheok\, Head of Southeast Asia Economics\, Moody’s Analytics \nModerator: Ms. Quah Ley Hoon\, Group Chief Corporate Officer\, CapitaLand Investment (CLI); and Council Member\, Singapore Institute of International Affairs \nProgramme:\n \nRegistration Form \nThank you for your interest in our event.
