Trump Administration Executive Order (EO) Tracker
The threats to the global economy are changing.
Dramatic shifts in geopolitics, national security challenges, and supply chains also bring uncertainty to global business. Strategic planning and investment decisions now need to take into account increasingly fractured regulatory regimes and quickly evolving political environments.
Specific risk factors include:
- Geopolitical and tensions that have resulted in the increased use of economic tools like tariffs, sanctions, and export controls, impacting the production and sale of a number of critical sectors and key technologies.
- Supply chain transparency rules and industrial policies that have motivated organisations to consider onshoring, nearshoring, and allied-shoring of critical supply chains, as well as requiring greater scrutiny of suppliers and sourcing.
- Disruption and crises where businesses have had to develop an ability to withstand and recover from shocks long term, whether they are financial, natural disasters or pandemics.
- Energy security risks that have become a critical concern, challenging countries to secure stable, affordable and sustainable energy sources.
- Increasing digitization that exposes critical infrastructure, businesses, and governments to the threat of cyberattacks. As more systems become interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT)and reliance on cloud services grows, it will be more difficult to safeguard sensitive data.
- Changes in governments that require a new and innovative approach for policy advocacy and long-term investments.
