THE global economic and political landscape is in a state of flux and we face levels of uncertainty not seen for decades, as the three scenarios I outline above indicate. Politics is dominating Boardroom debate around the globe.
Will President Trump implement more of the game-changing policies touted in his campaign? Could 35% import tariffs propel us into a full-scale trade war?
What about Asia? How much longer can financial stimulus continue in China – or is the bubble about to burst? There are many questions to address.
ICIS and International eChem have come together to produce a new study that will assess the global and regional impact of different scenarios resulting from geo-political uncertainty. This will be published very soon, and will include detailed analysis of the above three scenarios – along with three scenarios for China.
In the meantime, I am keen to hear your views now on how these major developments are affecting your business:
- Which issues are at the top of your agenda and why?
- What do you see as the major threats today? What opportunities do you foresee for your business?
