供应链融资：人工智能时代的韧性全球贸易
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Citi's Supply Chain Financing report finds global trade durable through 2025 tariff shocks. Payment flows stayed strong; shipping normalized. From 2019-2024, North & East Asia exports shifted to emerging markets (Latin America +59%, Middle East & Africa +52%, South Asia-ASEAN +44%), while flows to the U.S. rose a modest 32%. AI and blockchain are reshaping supply chains, though sales outlook appears tepid.
