Despite the headwinds facing globalization, many people argue that the world is entering a period of "re-globalization" rather than "de-globalization".

“It's a re-globalization rather than a de-globalization. And especially you see that with trade corridors, so trade is happening between countries or regions,” Bregje de Best, Co-head of Global Corporate Banking at J.P. Morgan, said in a Dialogue with SFC journalist at J.P. Morgan Global China Summit 2025.

For example, the trade corridor between China and the Middle East has significantly increased, and that between China and Latin America has also significantly increased.

As one of the most influential annual investment conferences in Asia, the 21st J.P. Morgan Global China Summit was held in Shanghai from May 22 to 23.

Facing new opportunities, “J.P. Morgan will play into it by putting Chinese speaking bankers on the grounds in Riyadh, on the ground in Sao Paulo, etc,” she added. “And these things are game changing, not only because we have local coverage, but local coverage in the relevant languages. We play into it in a new re-globalized world.”
