From the CEO
2025 has been a year defined by profound shifts: rapidly evolving sanctions regimes, complex supply chains, emerging technologies, and a priority over national economic security.
At TradeKins, our mission has been to help clients navigate this landscape with clarity and purpose — through practical frameworks, regional collaboration, and capacity-building that creates lasting institutional resilience.
As we supported clients across sectors in enhancing internal controls and building whole-of-company risk awareness, one truth has remained constant: organisations that build robust and agile compliance and risk capabilities are the ones that will lead with confidence.
Below is a look at the milestones that shaped our year.
Across Q1–Q2, we strengthened national governance and compliance capabilities through tier-one programmes and sector-wide engagement:
Supported ISCA on US Tariffs: Implications and Business Response
Delivered key modules in the SGX-prescribed Board Masterclass Programme with ISCA-SAC, supporting first-time listed company directors in risk oversight, cyber resilience, and organisational continuity.
Rolled out new executive programmes on investigations, export controls, sanctions, and risk governance.
A major milestone this year was our engagement in Malé, supporting the Maldives Legal Framework Forum on Strategic Trade Controls (STCs).
Designed the country’s first national RACI Matrix to clarify interagency roles and delivered training on UNSCR 1540, export control legislation, and dual-use controls.
This moved the Maldives from awareness to implementation — laying the groundwork for its Strategic Trade Management Bill to be enacted for a nation located along critical Indian Ocean trade routes.
2025 also strengthened our role as a regional thought leader:
Anti-Money Laundering Capacity Building
Our AML Essentials programme with Temasek Polytechnic’s SkillsFuture Academy saw two oversubscribed runs, with strong industry uptake and welcome remarks by MAS.
RiskNavi: The Smarter Way to Screen, Protect, and GrowAnti-Money Laundering Capacity Building
We also in parnership with AEB launched RiskNavi to support SMEs across trade, shipping, logistics, corporate services, and supply-chain operations to screen customers, partners, and suppliers, accurately, quickly, and without enterprise-level cost or complexity.
