Now the numbers of Covid-19 infections and deaths are decreasing and if some commonwealth counties eased the lockdowns, then it would be a very big advantage for the trading. The demands for the commodities like fuel, agriculture, and minerals will again start rising. Industries will start their working, people will also get back to their works and the economies of the Covid-19 affected countries will again start rising, the demand and supply cycle also bouncing back. So, easing the lockdown restriction would be very helpful for the intra and global trading of the commonwealth countries (Escaith., 2020). But some commonwealth countries might need some financial support for health care of the worker from other developing countries. Investments in the sectors like e-commerce, IT, cyber security, healthcare, and biotechnologies can boost the business and the economy as well and as a result, the trades between the commonwealth countries may also boost. Government support will also be needed for the future growth of the commonwealth intra and global trade. Government should lose some restrictions, guidelines, and rules to help multinational trading. Banking sectors can also help to boost trading by minimizing the interest rates on the loans. If banks minimize the interest on loans then businesses will grow more and it will again help commonwealth countries in global trading.
Strengthening the connectivity among our countries is therefore critical, so that trade flows remain resilient during times of crisis. Digital connectivity will be especially key, as the need to interact virtually now will transform the way people trade and do business. It is already a major area of focus for the Commonwealth, under its flagship Connectivity Agenda.
The potential for intra-Commonwealth trade to act as a lifeline during the darkest of times. By leveraging the Commonwealth Advantage and robust policy responses, countries can bolster vital trade and investment flows, to eventually emerge at the end of the tunnel. (Scotland,2021).
