Maritime services ban risk

Brussels is moving from the G7 price cap toward a full ban on EU shipping, insurance and other maritime services for Russian crude at any price. With EU-owned tankers still carrying ~35% of Russia’s oil, logistics and freight availability may shift abruptly.

Foreign real estate ownership liberalization

New rules enabling foreign ownership of land (with limits in Makkah/Madinah) are lifting international demand for Saudi property and mixed-use developments. This improves investment entry options and collateralization, but requires careful title, zoning, and regulatory due diligence.

$350bn US investment execution

South Korea’s pledge to invest US$350bn in the United States is shifting from political commitment to project vetting, with new review committees and Washington consultations. Corporate capital allocation, governance, and disclosure expectations will shape deal timing, financing terms, and bilateral leverage.

UK-Russia sanctions escalation compliance

The UK is tightening Russia measures, including designations and a planned ban on maritime services (transport, insurance) supporting Russian LNG to third countries, alongside a lower oil price cap. This elevates due-diligence needs for shipping, energy, and finance.

Defense buildup and dual-use compliance

Faster defense spending toward ~2% of GDP and deeper aerospace/space programs increase procurement opportunities but tighten export-control, ITAR-style and dual-use compliance across primes and suppliers, especially those with China-linked inputs or sales.

Redes de “dark fleet” bajo presión

El comercio petrolero iraní depende de una “dark fleet” con AIS manipulado, cambios de bandera y transferencias STS; China absorbe la mayor parte, con hubs como Malasia. Acciones recientes (p.ej., incautaciones en India) muestran mayor interdicción y potencial disrupción de flujos.

High-tech FDI and semiconductors

FDI remains resilient and shifts toward higher-value electronics and semiconductors, with 2025 registered FDI at US$38.42bn and realized US$27.62bn; early-2026 approvals exceed US$1bn in key northern provinces. This supports supply-chain diversification but increases competition for talent and sites.

Multipolar payments infrastructure challenge

Growth in non-dollar payment plumbing—CBDCs, mBridge-type networks, and yuan settlement initiatives—incrementally reduces reliance on USD correspondent banking. Firms face fragmentation of rails, higher integration costs, and strategic decisions on invoicing currencies and liquidity buffers.

State-asset sales and privatization

Government is preparing ~60 state-owned companies for transfer to the Sovereign Fund or stock-market listings, signaling deeper restructuring. This expands M&A and PPP opportunities but requires careful diligence on governance, labor sensitivities, valuation, and regulatory approvals.

Clean-tech investment uncertainty

Major industrial greenfield plans remain volatile as firms reassess EV and battery economics. Stellantis cancelled a subsidized battery plant (over €437m support, up to 2,000 jobs), echoing other paused megaprojects. Investors face policy, demand and permitting uncertainty across clean-tech.

EV and automotive supply-chain shift

Thailand’s auto sector is pivoting toward electrification: 2025 production about 1.455m units (−0.9%), while BEV output surged (reported +632% to 70,914) and sales rose (+80%). Incentives and OEM localization change parts sourcing, standards, and competitor dynamics.

Telecom spectrum and 5G economics

Pelelangan spektrum 700 MHz dan 2,6 GHz pada 2026 ditujukan mempercepat 5G; regulator cost di Indonesia ~12,2% pendapatan operator (vs rata-rata ASEAN 8%). Target cakupan 5G 8,5% luas permukiman 2026, sementara 4G ~99% populasi. Biaya spektrum mempengaruhi rollout, IoT industri, dan kualitas layanan.

China tech controls tighten further

Stricter export controls and licensing conditions on advanced semiconductors (e.g., Nvidia H200) and enforcement actions (e.g., Applied Materials $252m penalty for SMIC-linked exports) raise compliance burdens, restrict China revenue, and accelerate redesign, re-routing, and localization of tech supply chains.

Digital economy and data centres

Ho Chi Minh City is catalysing tech infrastructure: announced frameworks include up to US$1bn commitments for hyperscale AI/cloud data centres and a digital-asset fund. Gains include better digital services and compute capacity, but execution depends on power reliability, approvals and data-governance rules.

US tariff shock and reorientation

Reports indicate a steep US reciprocal tariff (cited at 36%) has raised urgency for export diversification, local value-add, and BOI support measures. Firms face margin pressure, potential order diversion, and renewed interest in rules-of-origin planning and US-facing compliance.

Consolidation budgétaire et fiscalité

Le budget 2026, adopté via 49.3, comporte des mesures fiscales contestées et sécurisées devant le Conseil constitutionnel. Effets: incertitude sur fiscalité du capital et transmissions, arbitrages d’investissement, pression sur dépenses publiques et commandes.

Illicit logistics hubs and environmental risk

Malaysia’s Johor area has become a key staging hub, with roughly 60 dark‑fleet tankers loitering for ship‑to‑ship transfers before onward shipment to China. Concentration increases accident/spill risk, port-state scrutiny, and sudden clampdowns that can strand cargoes and disrupt chartering.

Regional HQ and market access leverage

Riyadh continues using policy to anchor multinationals locally, linking government contracting and strategic opportunities to in‑kingdom presence. Reports indicate over 200 companies have relocated HQs to Riyadh. This affects corporate structuring, tax residency, talent deployment, and bid competitiveness.

Post-election policy continuity risks

Bhumjaithai’s strong election showing reduces near-term instability, supporting portfolio inflows, but coalition bargaining and a multi-year constitutional rewrite could still delay budgets and reforms. Foreign investors face execution risk around stimulus, infrastructure procurement, and regulatory priorities.

Energy market reform and grid

Electricity market reforms and grid-connection constraints remain pivotal as the UK scales renewables and electrification. Policy choices on pricing, network charges and incremental CfD changes affect power purchase agreements, site selection for energy-intensive industry, and returns in clean infrastructure.

Reciprocal tariff regime expansion

Executive-order “reciprocal” tariffs are being used as a standing leverage tool, illustrated by the U.S.–India framework moving to an 18% reciprocal rate and conditional removals. Firms face volatile landed costs, origin rules scrutiny, and partner-specific dealmaking risk.

Trade rerouting and logistics costs

With port disruptions, exporters increasingly divert cargo by rail and road through EU borders, raising transit time, capacity constraints and costs. Agriculture remains the largest export driver (commodities US$41.7bn in 2024), so volatility in corridors affects global buyers’ sourcing strategies and contract performance.

Dezenflasyon ve lira oynaklığı

Ocak 2026 enflasyonu yıllık %30,65, aylık %4,84; konut %45,36 artışta. Dezenflasyon sürse de kur ve fiyat oynaklığı ücret, kira, girdi maliyetleri ve fiyatlama stratejilerinde belirsizlik yaratıyor; stok, kontrat ve hedge ihtiyacını artırıyor.

Rising defence spending and procurement

Germany is accelerating rearmament with major outlays (e.g., €536m initial loitering‑munitions order within a €4.3bn framework; broader funding exceeding €100bn). This boosts defence-tech opportunities but heightens export-control, security and supply‑capacity constraints.

Sanctions enforcement and shadow fleets

US sanctions activity is intensifying against Iran and Russia-linked networks, targeting vessels, traders, and financiers. This raises secondary-sanctions exposure for non‑US firms, heightens maritime due diligence needs (AIS, beneficial ownership, STS transfers), and increases insurance, freight, and payment friction.

High-tech FDI and semiconductor scaling

FDI remains strong with US$38.42bn registered in 2025 and US$27.62bn realised (highest 2021–25). Policy emphasis is shifting toward electronics, semiconductors, AI and rare earths, deepening supplier ecosystems but increasing competition for skilled labour and land.

Governance and tax administration overhaul

An IMF-linked tax reform plan through June 2027 targets FBR audit, IT and exemption simplification, while broader digital governance reforms expand compliance systems. Businesses should expect stronger enforcement, e-invoicing/data requirements, and changing effective tax burdens across sectors.

Energy mix permitting and local opposition

While no renewables moratorium is planned, the PPE points to slower onshore wind/solar and prioritizes repowering to reduce local conflicts. Permitting risk and community opposition can delay projects, affecting PPAs, factory decarbonization plans, and ESG delivery timelines.

Institutional and legal-policy volatility

Moves by the legislature to influence Constitutional Court appointments and broader governance debates underscore institutional risk. For investors, this can translate into less predictable judicial review, permitting outcomes, and enforcement consistency—especially in regulated sectors like mining, environment, and infrastructure.

Förderlogik und KfW-Prozesse im Wandel

KfW vereinfacht Förderprogramme, während Budgets und Kriterien (z. B. hohe Zuschussquoten bis 70% beim Heizungstausch) politisch und fiskalisch unter Druck stehen. Für Anbieter und Investoren steigen Planungsrisiken, Vorfinanzierungsbedarf und die Bedeutung förderfähiger Produktkonfigurationen.

Coupang breach escalates to ISDS

Coupang’s data-leak investigation is triggering US political pushback and investor-state dispute settlement threats under the Korea–US FTA. A prolonged legal-diplomatic fight could chill US tech investment, complicate enforcement predictability, and heighten retaliatory trade risk perceptions.

State-led energy, mixed projects

Mexico is expanding state-directed energy investment while opening “mixed” generation projects where CFE holds majority stakes and offers long-term offtake. This can unlock renewables buildout, yet governance, procurement exceptions and political discretion create contracting, dispute-resolution and bankability complexities for investors.

Deterioração fiscal e dívida

Gastos cresceram 3,37% acima do limite real de 2,5% do arcabouço em 2025, elevando o déficit para 0,43% do PIB e a dívida bruta para 78,7% do PIB; projeções apontam 83,6% até 2026. Pressiona juros e risco-país.

USMCA review and tariff risk

Preparations for the USMCA/CUSMA joint review are colliding with renewed U.S. tariff threats on autos, steel, aluminum and other goods, raising compliance and pricing risk for integrated North American supply chains and cross-border investment planning.

Port expansion and logistics scaling

Vietnam is investing heavily to become a regional logistics hub. Seaport system investment needs are estimated at VND 359.5 trillion (US$13.8bn) by 2030, while Hai Phong and Cat Lai report strong TEU growth, reducing lead-time risk but stressing hinterland links.
