The Chairman also discussed the biggest obstacles facing global trade, "In our business, my biggest worry is technology. Technology disruptions is something in case we don’t know about it, or we are not aware of it, or not take into consideration, it is going to affect our business."

He continued, "A new technology that could come in, that could affect our business, the way we run our business, the way we trade, all of these things are a concern."
