UNCTAD and five UN regional agencies on 28 June launched a four-year project on the use of blockchain to simplify and expedite import, export and transit procedures. Blockchain can help ease trade in the wake of supply chain crises, such as those emanating from the blockage of the Suez Canal, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which have caused catastrophic trade disruptions, especially in developing countries.
