NTT官方10月27日消息，NTT DATA、三菱商事、豐田通商、東京海上日動、三菱UFJ銀行、兼松、損害保險JAPAN等七家公司将共同投資TradeWaltz，該公司成立于2020年4月，主要負責經營貿易資訊協作平台“TradeWaltz”。2017年8月，以NTT DATA為秘書處成立了跨行業财團，與貿易、銀行、保險、航運等相關方讨論了如何使用數字技術提高處理效率和貿易營運的安全性。在此基礎上NTT DATA開發出“Trade Waltz”。将來在該平台上利用電子資料集中管理所有與貿易有關的操作，預計相關工作量最多可減少50％。未來這七家公司将緊密合作，實作“ Trade Waltz”的實際應用和商業化。
面對全球貿易的緊密，區塊鍊的發展、及當下全球疫情問題，偶然知道由日本公司做的一個項目，值得思考一下

Vietnam Pilot Project Utilizing TradeWaltz® Platform Adopted Under Government’s Supply-Chain Diversification Scheme
Five Japanese companies are pleased to announce that they will be collaborating on a digitalization pilot project for Vietnam-bound trade. Slated to begin in March 2021 with operations conducted by Mitsubishi Corporation Plastics Ltd. (MCP) and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC), the project will revolve around the TradeWaltz® information-sharing platform, which is managed by its namesake company TradeWaltz, Inc. (TradeWaltz). Participating in the project alongside TradeWaltz will be the platform’s four initial users1, namely MCP, MC, MUFG Bank, Ltd. (MUFG), and Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd. (Tokio Marine Nichido).
This project has also been adopted as part of a larger scheme to help diversify overseas supply chains that was introduced in the fiscal year 2021 supplementary budget of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is serving as secretariat for the diversification scheme.
Trading operations still require physical documents to be processed at both corporate and government offices, and even during the pandemic, some employees have had to report to their offices once or twice a week to do the work. If the pandemic were to worsen or some other crisis occur that prevented employees from doing this, it could slow trade and adversely impact supply chains. Recognizing that factors inhibiting fully-remote work have been on the rise during the pandemic, the Japanese government is taking urgent measures to address them. Its aim is to facilitate efforts to meet the growing need for digital documents and otherwise strengthen supply chains through diversification and digitalization.
TradeWaltz’s platform is designed to centrally manage digital, trade-related data, and with the company having recently digitized all documents pertaining to export standards, it is now set to commence the pilot project. Beginning in March, its systems will be connected to its four initial users, with the first set of trial operations focusing on their receipt of letters of credit, which comprise just some of the documents mentioned. Under current trade practices, one of the conditions for obtaining letters of credit from banks is that the information documented on them matches that on the relevant shipping documents. Cross checking those documents is just one of the complex, paper-based procedures that must be performed when goods are being traded. The pilot project aims to integrate within a single system all of those procedures, including the cross checks, and because it conforms to the government’s objective to bolster supply chains, it has been adopted as part of the aforementioned diversification scheme.
At present, the TradeWaltz® platform can accommodate letters of credit from all countries, but the pilot project will focus on transactions with companies in Vietnam due to that country’s status as 2020 ASEAN chair and the fact that it is one of Japan’s biggest trade partners in the region (Vietnam’s annual trade with Japan amounts to approximately 40 billion USD). The pilot project is being undertaken in accordance with the joint ministerial statement3 that was issued in August 2020 by Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Mr. Hiroshi Kajiyama, and Vietnam’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Mr. Tran Tuan Anh, during the fourth meeting of the Japan-Vietnam Joint Committee on Cooperation in Industry, Trade and Energy.

Looking forward, TradeWaltz and its four initial users are hoping to build on these Vietnam trials to help digitalize trading operations throughout ASEAN and other parts of the world.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
- The trial operations will mainly cover MCP’s trade of low-density polyethylene, which will be used in Vietnam to make plastic bags, packaging for foods and daily necessities, and additional products for which demand has been driven up by the pandemic in supermarket, takeout, and other industries.
- A letter of credit is a letter issued by a bank guaranteeing that payments will be received on time and in the full amounts.
- Joint Ministerial Statement (excerpt): The ministers recognized the ongoing initiative of the private sector to streamline trade procedures by building a platform for companies to exchange trade-related documents digitally. This is expected to help the region develop more sophisticated supply chains.

President and Chief Executive Officer
TradeWaltz Inc.
“This project is being undertaken as part of METI’s diversification scheme and focuses on the operations of two of our initial users, Mitsubishi Corporation Plastics and Mitsubishi Corporation. Looking more to the future though, we plan to expand the use of TradeWaltz® to help ASEAN and RCEP countries with their trade digitalization efforts and strengthen supply chains, which have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Yukihiko Kaburaki
Mitsubishi Corporation Plastics
“Mitsubishi Corporation Plastics is honored to be one of the first users of the TradeWaltz® platform. We are confident that it will not only make our trade processes more competitive, but also increase efficiency at each company in our supply chain and help to shore up trade operations in general. As a first user, we look forward to assisting with TradeWaltz’s efforts to build and refine a truly cutting-edge trade platform.”

“In March we will finally begin using the TradeWaltz® platform. On behalf of MC, I wish to extend my profound gratitude to METI and JETRO for supporting this pilot project. The pandemic has ramped up the need to work remotely, both here in Japan and around the world, so we hope to make steady progress with these trials and ultimately help TradeWaltz® become the go-to solution for global traders.”

Managing Director, Head of Transaction Banking Division

“With COVID-19 having provided greater impetus to digitalization in so many industries, I am convinced that the TradeWaltz® platform will be the best solution in Japan for those engaged in trade. MUFG is pleased to represent the banking sector in this pilot project, which is the first step towards making the platform a commercial success. We will do our best to promote its initial uses and hone its services, with an eye to rolling it out to more customers in the years ahead.”

利用政府供應鍊多元化計劃下的TradeWaltz®平台的越南試點項目
五家日本公司很高興地宣布，他們将在越南出口貿易的數字化試點項目上進行合作。該項目計劃于2021年3月開始，由三菱公司塑膠有限公司(MCP)和三菱公司(MC)進行營運，該項目将圍繞TradeWaltz®資訊共享平台展開，該平台由其同名公司TradeWaltz, Inc. (TradeWaltz)管理。與TradeWaltz一起參與該項目的将是該平台的四個初始使用者1，即MCP、MC、MUFG銀行有限公司(MUFG)和Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance有限公司(Tokio Marine Nichido)。
該項目也被作為一個更大的計劃的一部分，以幫助多元化海外供應鍊，該計劃在日本經濟産業省(METI)的2021财政年度補充預算中引入。日本對外貿易組織(貿易振興組織)是多樣化計劃的秘書處。
貿易業務仍然需要在公司和政府辦公室處理實物檔案，甚至在大流行期間，一些雇員不得不每周向辦公室報告一次或兩次以完成工作。如果大流行惡化或發生其他危機，使員工無法這樣做，就可能減緩貿易并對供應鍊産生不利影響。日本政府認識到，在大流行期間，限制完全遠端工作的因素不斷增加，正在采取緊急措施解決這些問題。其目的是促進努力滿足對數字檔案日益增長的需求，并通過多樣化和數字化加強供應鍊。
trade華爾茲的平台旨在集中管理與貿易相關的數字資料，由于該公司最近已将所有與出口标準有關的檔案數字化，它現在準備開始試點項目。從3月開始，它的系統将與它的四個初始使用者連接配接，第一套試運作集中于他們的信用證接收，這隻是提到的一些檔案。根據目前的貿易慣例，從銀行獲得信用證的條件之一是信用證上所記錄的資訊與相關裝運單據相符。交叉核對這些檔案隻是商品交易時必須執行的複雜的、基于紙張的程式之一。該試點項目旨在将包括交叉檢查在内的所有程式整合到一個系統中，由于它符合政府加強供應鍊的目标，是以已被作為上述多元化計劃的一部分。
目前，TradeWaltz®平台可以容納所有國家的信用證，但由于越南是2020年東盟輪值主席國，而且越南是日本在該地區最大的貿易夥伴之一(越南與日本的年貿易額約為400億美元)，該試點項目将專注于與越南公司的交易。根據2020年8月日本經濟貿易産業大臣山博司和越南工業貿易大臣陳端英先生發表的聯合部長級聲明，該試點項目正在進行中。日越工業、貿易和能源合作聯合委員會第四次會議期間。
圖1所示。在越南的試運作将于2021年3月開始，收到信用證後(如紅色箭頭所示)
展望未來，TradeWaltz和它的四個最初使用者希望在越南的試驗基礎上，幫助東盟和世界其他地區的貿易業務數字化。
試驗業務将主要覆寫MCP的低密度聚乙烯貿易，這些低密度聚乙烯将在越南用于制作塑膠袋、食品和日常生活用品的包裝，以及在超市、外賣等行業因疫情而需求增加的其他産品。
信用證是由銀行出具的保證付款按時足額收到的信用證。
部長聯合聲明(節選):部長們認識到私營部門正在提出的旨在通過建立企業數字化交換貿易相關檔案的平台來簡化貿易程式的倡議。預計這将幫助該地區發展更複雜的供應鍊。
