Governments around the world have committed to reform public health and provide dedicated resources.

There are also time lags, both in measuring the outcomes of public health policies, and in data release and analysis.

Security, Smart Identification and Surveillance

National security, network security, and personal information security are major global concerns, and governments are implementing video surveillance systems, alarms, access controls, detectors, and communication and information management systems for law enforcement and public safety.
The conventional means of authentication such as IDs and passwords are highly vulnerable to attacks and can be lost, hacked, or forgotten. To prevent such issues, smart identification and surveillance systems have been implemented in e-passports, national identity programs, and border control routines.
Governments are adopting innovative ways to interconnect technologies to proactively prevent, and resolve crimes and conflicts and respond with real-time situational awareness, through the integration of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and data analytics into various public safety platforms.

Governments understand the importance of trade to their economic prosperity, and use trade as a tool to achieve sustainable growth and higher employment, including the sharing of goods, services and expertise that foster innovation and technological development, and they put a great deal of effect into preparing for the infrastructure needs of trade.
Technological developments and the deployment of internet services worldwide have transformed the international trade sector.
Information and communication technologies will continue to prove key to industry performance over the coming years.
Goods available through international trade include jewellery, foods, wine, clothes, and oil. Services available through international trade include banking, transportation, consulting and tourism.

According to the findings, sustainable trade tracks closely with a nation’s wealth: rich countries top the index, mid-income countries fall in the middle, and low-income countries make up the bottom. South Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia are relative outperformers.

Sustainable Trade

...

Sustainability and sustainable trade have become essential to corporate strategy and operations, and their importance in trade is set to grow further.

Commerzbank partnered with Oxford Analytica to provide an original outlook for sustainable trade over the next 10-15 years by exploring five key drivers:

  • Regulatory competition and protectionism: Considerable scope still exists for the abuse of sustainability for reasons relating more to protectionist measures than concern for ‘people’ and ‘planet’.
  • New patterns of global demand: Population growth in the global middle class is increasing demand for tradable goods and services, placing considerable strain on natural resources, firms engaged in trade will be forced to prioritise efficiency and sustainability in their operations.
  • Supply chain trends: The sustainable trade agenda will also become more closely aligned with cost efficiencies and security in relation to potential sustainability-related risks in their supply chains.
  • Alliances: Open collaboration with NGOs, suppliers and consumers will increasingly generate innovative ideas.
  • Innovative finance and the role of banks: It will become necessary for firms engaged in trade to evaluate their sustainability performance and to demonstrate sound strategies for sustainability-related risk exposure, in order to obtain financing.

Governments are under pressure to improve public sector performance and at the same time contain expenditure growth. While factors such as ageing populations and increasing healthcare and pension costs add to budgetary pressures, citizens are demanding that governments be made more transparent and accountable with taxpayers’ money.

Efficiency is increasingly identified as a core public service value

According to a Deloitte study, focusing on efficiency in the Government of the UAE ‘Government Efficiency | Innovate. Scale. Measure. Incent’, governments around the world are searching for ways to deliver services that reduce cost and improve quality. Although efficiency is an increasingly core component of government reform, however, reviews of costs and productivity in OECD countries indicate that governments may be getting less efficient over time.

Through innovation and exploring new ways for empowering consumers to make choices, encouraging new IoT partnerships across private sector and public sector organizations, better capability to scale, improved measurement and greater use of management incentives, increased efficiency can be achieved, driving down costs through more integrated approaches in procurement, service delivery and corporate functions, to generate better social and economic outcomes.

The UAE is seeking to mitigate the effects of climate change with renewable energy sources. The de-carbonization of infrastructure and energy projects, and helping neighbouring countries to grapple with climate change, are also key parts of the UAE government’s strategy. The oil & gas industry, education, technology and entrepreneurship are some of the critical areas which converge when it comes to innovation as the UAE seeks to shift away from oil dependence.
