Moody’s Talks: Risk Reframed · 2024-12-18 · 34 min
You may be familiar with yacht owners being sanctioned, but what of the potential risks tied to the yachts themselves? Burmese teak wood, commonly found in marine vessels, is known for its exceptional quality, natural water resistance, and premium price tag.

In an enlightening conversation with host, Alex Pillow , Kate educates us on the illegal timber trade and its greater implications.
