The volume of space dedicated to ‘trade wars’ in the past few months is vast. But this does not guarantee the subject has been properly examined and analysed. I would like to suggest another perspective, questioning some common assumptions.
Agnès Joly is the Head of Trade Services, Global Transaction & Payment Services at Societe Generale.
She joined Societe Generale in 1984, initially working as a junior maths expert for Export Finance and then as a FX derivative sales manager in the newly created Capital Market division. In 1991, Societe Generale created a team to help Western European companies partner with Eastern countries looking for trade and economic development and Joly was selected to focus on the Czech Republic and Hungary. She then went on to spend four years as human resources business partner for the Capital Market division prior to becoming deputy head of trade services.
