Evolution vs. Reinvention: Shaping the Future of Global Commerce - Powered by Amazon

The curation of content and speakers was wholly managed by Amazon and does not reflect the views of the organisers or its staff.

As global commerce evolves, persistent frictions in cross-border payments continue to hinder SME growth and innovation. This closed-door policy dialogue confronts a critical choice: should we evolve existing rails or reinvent global payments infrastructure altogether? Featuring two lightning talks and a dynamic moderated debate, this session explores competing policy visions – from improving instant payments to enabling stablecoins and programmable finance. Participants will gain insight into real-world challenges, policy trade-offs, and future-ready strategies to foster inclusion, trust, and innovation in global commerce.
