AB Yeşil Mutabakat ve SKDM baskısı

AB’ye ihracatın yaklaşık %42’si nedeniyle SKDM/Yeşil Mutabakat uyumu kritik. Sanayi çevreleri uyum gecikirse pazar kaybı riskine dikkat çekiyor. Karbon raporlama, enerji verimliliği ve düşük karbon tedarik şartları; çelik, çimento, alüminyum ve kimyada maliyet/sertifikasyon yükü getiriyor.

Defense Reindustrialization and Procurement Boom

Germany has become the world’s fourth-largest military spender (~$107bn), accelerating procurement and domestic capacity build-out (e.g., up to €2bn for loitering munitions). This boosts aerospace, electronics, and dual-use tech demand, while tightening export controls and security screening.

Hydrogen Scale-Up and Permitting

Germany is accelerating hydrogen deployment by treating hydrogen projects as “overriding public interest,” simplifying licensing and enabling large hubs like Hamburg’s 100MW electrolyzer. Opportunities grow for equipment, offtake, and infrastructure, alongside cost, CCS, and demand risks.

Investment screening and deal friction

CFIUS continues expanding process efficiency and scrutiny (e.g., Known Investor Program consultations) alongside broader national-security posture. Cross-border M&A timelines may lengthen for sensitive assets (data, critical infrastructure, dual-use tech), raising break fees, financing costs, and disclosure burdens.

Middle East energy shock

Japan’s heavy Middle East dependence (about 90% of oil) amplifies exposure to Iran-related price spikes. Rising crude raises inflation and operating costs; emergency stockpile releases and refilling costs add fiscal pressure, influencing logistics, manufacturing margins, and contract indexing.

Green transition and carbon markets

Thailand is scaling climate finance and market infrastructure: TFEX can list carbon-credit/allowance derivatives, and IEAT secured a $100m World Bank loan to fund renewables and sell ~1m tCO2e credits. Carbon pricing readiness will affect industrial site selection and operating costs.

Energy and LNG price contagion

European gas and oil benchmarks react quickly to Gulf insecurity, even without physical outages, as risk premia surge. Higher energy input costs pressure European industry margins, complicate hedging, and can trigger demand destruction or emergency subsidy interventions.

Energy Transition Industrial Policy

Budget measures extend customs exemptions for lithium-ion cell inputs, solar-glass materials and nuclear-project goods to 2035, plus aviation components and MRO inputs. These incentives attract manufacturing FDI and localisation, but create policy-dependent cost advantages and compliance complexity.

Financial-Sector Opening, Bank FDI

Government discussions may lift FDI cap in state-owned banks from 20% to 49% while retaining 51% public ownership. If adopted, it would widen strategic-entry options for global banks and PE, support capital raising, and reshape competition in India’s credit and payments markets.

Halal standards and import exemptions

Ahead of October 2026 ‘mandatory halal’ enforcement, ART provisions may exempt some US cosmetics, medical devices, and certain goods/packaging from halal certification or ease recognition via US certifiers. Domestic backlash signals ongoing uncertainty, potential WTO disputes, and compliance fragmentation for importers.

Won volatility and capital flows

The won remains sensitive to policy and portfolio shifts, with a 5.2% decline since May and scrutiny from U.S. Treasury. The National Pension Service’s 1,438tn won AUM and 0% FX hedging could become a “game changer,” affecting hedging costs and pricing for cross-border firms.

Nuclear power expansion funding squeeze

France’s nuclear strategy faces financing stress as renewable oversupply forces reactor modulation (33 TWh in 2025) and depresses prices, hitting EDF revenues. Higher maintenance and €1.4bn turbine upgrades complicate funding for new reactors, affecting energy-intensive industries’ price outlook.

Critical minerals export weaponization

China’s export controls on gallium, germanium and rare earths remain a high-impact lever. With China producing ~99% of primary gallium and supplying ~95% of US imports, shipment disruptions and price spikes (e.g., yttrium +60%) threaten aerospace, semiconductors and EV supply chains.

Hormuz disruption, route diversification

Escalating Iran-linked conflict is disrupting Strait of Hormuz flows, pushing Aramco to reroute crude via the 5 mb/d East‑West pipeline to Yanbu and lifting premiums. Firms should plan for higher freight, insurance, delays, and contingency sourcing.

Critical minerals reshoring push

Australia is leveraging tax credits, strategic reserves and partner deals to build ex‑China supply chains in lithium and antimony. Closures like Kemerton show cost gaps versus China, shaping investment incentives, offtake contracts, and processing-location decisions.

Tougher China tech enforcement

US officials allege Chinese AI firm DeepSeek trained models on banned Nvidia Blackwell chips; Commerce says no H200 sales to China and prioritizes anti-smuggling enforcement. Expect tighter end-use controls, higher penalties, and elevated compliance burden for semiconductor and cloud supply chains.

US investment pledges and localisation

Seoul’s large US investment commitments (reported $350bn framework) and potential LNG terminal participation (>$10bn discussed) may reshape capital allocation, procurement, and localisation requirements. Multinationals should anticipate US-centric supply commitments and political conditionality.

Nearshoring constrained by policy uncertainty

Mexico’s nearshoring upside is tempered by weaker private investment and legal uncertainty after judicial reforms. Plan México targets 5.6 trillion pesos through 2030, yet new-project FDI is limited. Investors are delaying commitments, increasing hurdle rates and due diligence demands.

Gas production shutdowns ripple regionally

Security-driven stoppages at Leviathan and Karish triggered force majeure and cut exports to Egypt and Jordan. Volatile output affects regional power and industrial users, LNG procurement, and energy prices, while complicating project finance for Israel’s planned capacity expansion to ~21 bcm/year.

US tariffs and FTA volatility

Rapidly shifting US tariff regimes after court rulings and temporary 10–15% surcharges are forcing Indian exporters to reprice contracts, diversify markets, and revisit the interim India–US deal; parallel EU FTA opportunities still face heavy non‑tariff measures like CBAM compliance burdens.

Industrial policy reshapes investment flows

CHIPS, IRA and related incentives keep pulling advanced manufacturing and clean-tech investment into the US, but with stringent domestic-content, labor, and sourcing rules. Suppliers must localize key inputs, track eligibility changes, and manage subsidy-related audit and disclosure obligations.

US–Indonesia trade deal resets rules

A new Agreement on Reciprocal Trade sets 19% US tariffs on Indonesian goods while Indonesia commits to easing non‑tariff barriers, including limits on import licensing and SPS rules. Compliance and sector exemptions reshape market access and pricing strategies.

FX liquidity and repatriation risk

Low reserves and episodic controls raise risk of delayed dividend repatriation, LC constraints, and volatile PKR pricing. Recent reserve swings around external debt repayments highlight sensitivity to bilateral rollovers and IMF decisions, complicating treasury planning and supplier settlement timelines.

Sectoral Section 232 tariff pressure

National-security tariffs under Section 232 remain a durable lever on steel, aluminum, autos and potentially other strategic sectors. Ongoing or new investigations can raise costs, alter competitiveness, and incentivize nearshoring or US production to preserve market access.

Energy transition: nuclear-renewables balancing

EDF warns surplus power and weak electrification are forcing more nuclear modulation, increasing maintenance costs and affecting pricing dynamics. Uncertainty over the energy roadmap and grid demand growth impacts energy-intensive industries, PPA strategies, and project bankability.

Russia trade rerouting and border friction

Trade increasingly reroutes via China, the Far East, Belarus and Central Asia as checks tighten. Border-crossing times for China–Kazakhstan–Russia routes have tripled at times, with delays up to a month and transport costs up 5–10%, straining inventory planning and service levels.

Rail and mega-infrastructure push

Vietnam is reorganising Vietnam Railways into a national railway group to execute major corridors, including North–South high-speed rail, with charter capital projected ~VND 32.41 trillion (2026–2030). Large urban projects in Ho Chi Minh City also accelerate, improving supply-chain connectivity but raising execution and land risks.

Eastern Mediterranean gas interruptions

Security-driven shutdowns at Leviathan and other fields can abruptly cut exports to Egypt and Jordan and tighten domestic supply. This raises regional power and industrial input risks, complicates energy-intensive investments, and increases LNG reliance and price volatility.

Port security and continuity planning

Israeli ports remain operational but face elevated missile/drone and cyber/electronic-interference risks during escalation. Businesses should anticipate contingency operating procedures, tighter security and screening, potential labor constraints, and episodic throughput delays affecting time-sensitive imports, defense logistics, and just-in-time manufacturing.

Tightening investment and security screening

US scrutiny of foreign investment via CFIUS and related national-security reviews remains stringent, especially in sensitive tech, data, and critical infrastructure. Deal timelines may lengthen, mitigation requirements rise, and some transactions face prohibitions or forced divestment risk.

Tariff volatility and legal risk

Supreme Court limits emergency-tariff authority, but the administration is pursuing temporary Section 122 duties (10% rising to 15%) and fresh Section 301/232 probes. Companies face price shocks, contract renegotiations, customs reclassification and accelerated supply-chain diversification decisions.

USMCA review and tariff uncertainty

The 2026 USMCA/CUSMA review, ongoing U.S. sectoral tariffs (steel, aluminum, autos, lumber) and threats of higher baseline duties are chilling investment and complicating rules-of-origin planning. Firms should stress-test pricing, sourcing, and cross-border compliance scenarios.

US–China tariff volatility returns

US court-driven tariff reshuffles and temporary Section 122 surcharges create unstable landed costs for China-linked trade. Firms face recurring renegotiations, shipment front-loading, and sudden retaliation risk, complicating contracting, pricing, and inventory planning across transpacific supply chains.

EV overcapacity and trade barriers

Chinese EV scale, subsidies and price competition are triggering sustained trade defenses abroad. EU countervailing duties and negotiated “price undertakings” increase uncertainty for China-made vehicles and components, reshaping investment decisions on localization, sourcing, and market prioritization for automakers and battery supply chains.

Indo-Pacific security industrial integration

Defence cooperation with close partners is expanding toward industrial co-production and faster movement of equipment and personnel. This supports secure supply chains for advanced manufacturing and dual-use technology, but raises compliance demands around export controls, cyber security, and partner vetting.
