Virtual Enterprises International operates as an incredible program for young business students who desire to gain real world experience in the field. Acting as a virtual business simulator, VEI allows students to create their own digital companies within an international economy of 7,000+ students. Students manipulate all factors of their business (profit/revenue, marketing/advertising, financing/accounting, etc..) while learning how their skills, knowledge, and department teams contribute to the success of their business. Yesterday our CEO Paul Jarzombek was asked to attend the VEI regional competition in Rosemont as a judge! Students set up booths for their businesses while judges received credit cards that allowed them to invest for additional capital. Thanks to VEI and all participating students & judges for facilitating an incredible afternoon!

Are you aware of the chief factors currently affecting global trade?
Here’s the rundown:

The ongoing Yemenis & Iranian attacks on cargo ships passing through the strait of Hormuz have widely disrupted global shipping activity. About 1/5th of the world’s total oil consumption passes through the strait of Hormuz.

Similarly, the water levels in the Panama Canal reached their lowest point in history in October 2023. Canal officials report that this drought will cost them between $500-$750 million.

Both of these major events have forced shipping lines to redirect their usual routes, leading to significantly increased shipping times and costs. These disruptions have also led to the displacement of containers due to increased container turnover times.

Lastly, Chinese New Year 2024 is rapidly approaching. February 10th through the 17th, all Chinese business activities will be closed. Coupled with the aforementioned shipping disruptions, the timing of this holiday is tricky. Cargo will not move in China for about 7-10 days, however, storage costs will still be charged during this time. Shippers should have their plans in place for any Chinese shipments in February, and be careful to avoid letting cargo sit and accrue costs.

Be sure to check in with LRI for more essential global trade updates!
