    FOR Lim Chen Chen, UOB’s group head for structured trade and commodity finance, one thing is for certain: Nothing is really constant in this increasingly volatile world.

    That is why the veteran banker is always thinking about the worst-case scenarios and how to navigate her way out of them.

    “You never know when something can break out or escalate; what we do know is that the world has a new disorder,” said Lim, who has specialised in trade commodity financing for around two decades.
