Institutional resilience is tested in crisis—and built long before it. 🇺🇦 In Ukraine, the “Women in Business” Platform strengthened governance and expanded services despite conflict—growing 180 members in one year. Economic resilience drives stability, reducing risks like extremism and irregular migration—issues tied to broader U.S. interests. #Ukraine #Resilience #InstitutionalStrengthening

(4/4) The takeaway: transparency strengthens not only domestic governance, but also the trusted, rules-based partnerships that underpin economic cooperation across the Indo-Pacific, including with the United States.

(3/4) Why it matters: FOI drives tangible reform. It reduces barriers to doing business, strengthens local accountability, protects workers, and reinforces electoral integrity—key ingredients for a more competitive economy.

Deals can unlock growth—but only when the right conditions are in place. As development shifts toward private sector-led investment, one lesson stands out: capital works best when backed by strong rules, clear regulations, and fair competition. In his latest blog, CIPE Executive Director Andrew Wilson highlights why advocacy is a critical part of the equation—helping build the environments where investment can take hold and grow. 👉 bit.ly/4uK8UDS

Geopolitics is reshaping how supply chains work—and why they matter. Our new report on Australia, Finland, and South Korea offers important lessons for the U.S. and its partners: building trusted supply chains isn’t just about strategy, it’s about execution. Persistent gaps—from limited visibility to rising costs and regulatory friction—are where progress stalls. @eric_hontz 📄 Read the report: bit.ly/3REgIZc

De-risking from China is a priority—but supply chains don’t shift overnight. Businesses still rely on China’s scale, creating a gap between policy and reality. At a CIPE Taiwan–Japan roundtable, leaders focused on economic resilience: stronger coordination more diversified supply chains. For the U.S., working with Taiwan 🇹🇼 & Japan 🇯🇵 on trusted supply chains (semis, advanced tech, cyber) is key to economic security. For companies, this is risk management—not just geopolitics.

China’s BRI money can build fast—but when the financing is opaque, countries inherit hidden debt risk and weaker oversight. New research tells a tale of two railways, comparing Kenya’s SGR and the Ethiopia–Djibouti Railway: similar scale, different public outcomes—driven by transparency, scrutiny, and civic space. The U.S. can help by backing debt transparency, accountability, and competitive financing alternatives. @l_kanye @jeffdlightfoot @JMorrellCIPE Download the report: ➡️ bit.ly/4nV2KOZ

Strong institutions and transparent markets are the bedrock of economic resilience. Last week in Chișinău, CIPE and @CSDBuildBridges trained Moldovan leaders to defend against corrosive capital and illicit financial flows. Supporting accountable institutions in Eastern Europe isn't just local aid—it’s a vital U.S. interest that secures global markets against adversarial influence. By strengthening #Moldova’s defenses, we advance long-term regional stability and #TransatlanticProsperity for all. Read more: bit.ly/43hM3n4 🌍🇺🇸🇲🇩 #EconomicSovereignty @eric_hontz

Critical minerals power our world, but authoritarian control of 60–90% of refining capacities puts global & U.S. economic security at risk. 🇺🇸 Opaque deals and debt traps are distorting markets and crowding out democratic actors. Diversifying these supply chains is a national security must. We cannot rely on adversaries for the minerals that power our defense and tech. How CIPE is taking action: 🔹 Strengthening investment frameworks in Africa, Asia, & LatAm 🔹 Reducing political risk & market vulnerabilities 🔹 Protecting supply chains from authoritarian capture We’re building a future grounded in competitive market principles and transparent competition. 📈 Download our new flyer: bit.ly/48S5xlz #Lithium #NationalSecurity #CIPE #EconomicSecurity

Stable markets start with a strong private sector. 🌍 On April 27, CIPE was honored by the Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce for advancing private sector growth. 🇪🇹 Why it matters for global and U.S. interests: ✅ Unlocks global value chains ✅ Drives competitiveness ✅ Creates new trade opportunities By strengthening local institutions, we’re building a more transparent and resilient global economy. #EconomicSecurity #Ethiopia #GlobalTrade #CIPEAfrica

Heard at the @scsp_ai AI Expo: "AI is a marathon, but right now it feels like a sprint to the starting line. Emerging markets will have a tough time competing without sufficient resources to start the race. But it's also an equalizer, as everyone has access to the same AI tools." - Alberto S. Yohai, President, Cámara Colombiana de Informática y Telecomunicaciones (@CCIT_) CIPE joins @NEDemocracy and @IRIglobal at the Expo today to discuss democratic tech and the global AI competition. We're here to ensure AI reinforces democratic freedoms rather than becoming a turnkey tool for authoritarianism. @asyohai @Tomar_LE @jeffdlightfoot #AIExpo #SCSP #EconomicSecurity #DemocraticInnovation #GlobalTrade
