Monetary policy and dollar volatility

Cooling inflation (CPI 2.4% y/y in January; core 2.5%) is shifting expectations toward midyear Fed cuts. Rate and FX swings affect working capital, hedging, and investment hurdle rates, while tariff-driven relative price changes alter import demand and margins.

Nokia networks enabling industrial XR

Nokia’s continued investment in optical networks, data-centre switching and 5G/6G trials strengthens the connectivity backbone for industrial metaverse and real-time simulation. International firms can leverage Finnish telecom partnerships, but should plan for supply constraints in AI infrastructure ecosystems.

AI hardware export surge and tariffs

High-end AI chips and servers are driving trade imbalances and policy attention; the U.S. deficit with Taiwan hit about US$126.9B in Jan–Nov 2025, largely from AI chip imports. Expect tighter reporting, security reviews, and shifting tariff exposure across AI stacks.

India trade deals intensify competition

India’s new EU deal and evolving US tariff arrangements reduce Pakistan’s historical preference cushion, especially in textiles and made-ups. European and US buyers may renegotiate prices and lead times, pressuring margins and accelerating shifts toward higher value-add, reliability, and compliance performance.

Domestic demand pivot and policy easing

Beijing is prioritizing consumption-led growth in the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–30), targeting final consumption above 90 trillion yuan and ~60% of GDP. The PBOC signals “moderately loose” policy and ample liquidity. Impacts include shifting sector opportunities toward services and consumer subsidies.

PPP privatization pipeline expansion

A new National Privatization Strategy targets 220+ PPP contracts by 2030 and over $64bn (SAR240bn) private capex across transport, water, health, education and airports. This expands investable infrastructure, but requires tight bid compliance, local partners, and long-term risk pricing.

Giga-project recalibration and procurement risk

Vision 2030 mega-developments exceed $1 trillion planned value, but timelines and scope are being recalibrated as oil prices soften and execution scrutiny rises. About $115bn in contracts have been awarded since 2019, yet suppliers face more selective, longer procurement cycles.

Crypto and fintech rulebook tightening

The FCA is advancing a full cryptoasset authorization regime, consulting on Consumer Duty, safeguarding, SMCR accountability and reporting, with an application gateway expected in late 2026 and rules effective 2027. Market access and product design will increasingly hinge on governance readiness.

US tariff and NTB pressure

Washington is threatening to restore 25% tariffs unless Seoul delivers on a $350bn US investment pledge and eases non-tariff barriers (digital rules, agriculture, auto/pharma certification). Policy uncertainty raises pricing, compliance, and sourcing risks for exporters.

Sanctions enforcement and secondary risk

U.S. sanctions on Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and related maritime “shadow” networks are increasingly enforced with supply-chain due diligence expectations. Counterparties, insurers, shippers, and banks face heightened secondary exposure, trade finance frictions, and cargo-routing constraints for energy and dual-use goods.

Sanctions enforcement and shadow fleet

Washington is intensifying sanctions implementation, including congressional moves targeting Russia’s shadow tanker network and broader enforcement on Iran/Russia-linked actors. Shipping, trading, and financial firms face higher screening expectations, voyage-risk analytics needs, and potential secondary sanctions exposure.

Outbound investment screening expansion

U.S. outbound investment restrictions targeting sensitive China-linked technologies are tightening, with reporting, prohibited transaction categories, and penalties evolving. Investors and corporates must enhance deal diligence, governance, and information barriers to avoid blocked investments and reputational damage.

Migration tightening, labour shortages

Visa rule tightening is depressing skilled-worker and student inflows; analysts warn net migration could turn negative for the first time since 1993. Sectors like construction, care and health face hiring frictions, lifting wage pressure and constraining delivery timelines for UK operations.

Energy shortages constrain industry

Winter peak demand is straining gas supply, with household/commercial usage reported around 611 million cubic meters per day, increasing rationing risk for industry. Power and feedstock interruptions can reduce output and reliability for manufacturing, mining, petrochemicals, and exporters.

West Bank escalation and sanctions

Rising settler violence, expanded Israeli operations and growing international scrutiny increase risks of targeted sanctions, legal challenges and heightened compliance screening. Multinationals must reassess counterparties, project sites and procurement to avoid exposure to human-rights-related restrictions and activism-driven disruptions.

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.

Immigration rule overhaul and labour supply

Proposals to extend settlement timelines (typically five to ten years, longer for some visa routes) plus intensified sponsor enforcement create uncertainty for employers reliant on skilled migrants, notably health and social care. Expect higher compliance costs, churn, and wage pressure.

Energy roadmap: nuclear-led electrification

The long-delayed PPE energy plan will be issued by decree, aiming to lift electricity to 60% of energy use by 2030. It backs six new EPR reactors (eight optional) plus renewables, shaping power prices, grid investment, and industrial site decisions.

Transshipment and origin enforcement risk

Growing US scrutiny of origin fraud and transshipment is pushing Vietnam to tighten customs controls, creating higher audit, documentation, and supplier-traceability burdens for manufacturers. Sectors vulnerable to tariffs (e.g., solar components) face elevated trade-remedy exposure.

Electronics PLI and ECMS surge

Budget 2026 expands electronics incentives, including a ₹40,000 crore electronics PLI outlay and ECMS scaling, with production reportedly up 146% since FY21 and ~$4bn FDI tied to beneficiaries. Multinationals gain from supplier localization, but disbursement pace and rules matter.

Macrostability via aid and reserves

Despite war shocks, NBU policy easing to 15% and a reserves build to a record ~$57.7bn (Feb 1, 2026) reflect heavy external financing flows. This supports import capacity and FX stability, but leaves businesses exposed to conditionality, rollover timing, and renewed energy-driven inflation.

PIF reset and reprioritization

The $925bn Public Investment Fund is resetting its 2026–2030 strategy, scaling back costly mega‑projects and prioritizing industry, minerals, AI, logistics and tourism. Expect shifts in procurement pipelines, partner selection, timelines, and more emphasis on attracting global asset managers.

Energia e sanções: diesel russo

Importações de diesel russo voltaram a crescer (média 151 kbpd em janeiro), atraídas por descontos e restrições de mercado da Rússia. Empresas enfrentam risco reputacional e de compliance, além de incerteza comercial com EUA e volatilidade de oferta.

Tech Controls and China Decoupling

U.S.-China technology rivalry continues to constrain semiconductor and AI supply chains via export controls and licensing, while China accelerates substitution. Firms face dual-ecosystem risks, tighter compliance, potential reconfiguration of R&D and manufacturing footprints, and higher costs for advanced computing capacity.

Rusya yaptırımları ve uyum riski

AB’nin Rus petrolüne yönelik yaptırımları sertleştirmeyi tartışması ve rafine ürünlerde dolaylı akışları hedeflemesi, Türkiye üzerinden ticarette uyum/itibar riskini artırıyor. Bankacılık, sigorta, denizcilik ve ihracatçıların “yeniden ihracat” kontrollerini güçlendirmesi gerekebilir.

Tech export controls tighten supply

Expanded controls on AI chips, advanced semiconductors, and tooling constrain sales into China and other sensitive markets, while raising compliance burdens worldwide. Firms must redesign products, segment customer access, and harden end‑use diligence to avoid penalties and sudden shipment stoppages.

Energy exports and LNG geopolitics

US LNG is central to allies’ energy security, but export policy and domestic political pressure can affect approvals, pricing, and availability. For industry, this shapes energy-intensive manufacturing siting, long-term contracts, and Europe-Asia competition for cargoes, with knock-on logistics and hedging needs.

Transport resilience and logistics redesign

Repeated rail disruptions around Tokyo and new rail-freight offerings highlight infrastructure aging and the need for resilient distribution. JR outages affected hundreds of thousands of commuters, while Nippon Express and JR are expanding Shinkansen cargo and fixed-schedule rail services to improve reliability and cut emissions.

US–Taiwan tariff deal reshapes trade

A pending reciprocal tariff arrangement would reduce US tariffs on many Taiwanese goods (reported 20% to 15%) and grant semiconductors MFN treatment under Section 232. In exchange, large Taiwan investment pledges could shift sourcing and pricing dynamics for exporters.

EU compliance for XR biometrics

Immersive systems increasingly process eye-tracking and other biometric signals. In Finland, EU AI and data-protection compliance expectations shape product design, data localization and vendor selection, raising assurance costs but improving trust for regulated buyers in defence, healthcare and industry.

Tech export controls enforcement surge

Washington is tightening and actively enforcing semiconductor and AI-related export controls, illustrated by a $252m settlement over alleged post-Entity-List tool exports to China’s SMIC. Multinationals face higher compliance costs, licensing delays, and heightened penalties for third‑party diversion.

Fiscal expansion and policy credibility

President Prabowo’s growth agenda and large social spending (including a reported US$20bn meals program) pushed the 2025 deficit to about 2.92% of GDP, near the 3% legal cap. Moody’s shifted outlook negative, heightening sovereign, FX, and refinancing risks.

Port and logistics mega-projects

Brazil is accelerating port and access upgrades, exemplified by the Santos–Guarujá immersed tunnel PPP (R$7.8bn capex; 30-year concession). Better access can reduce dwell times, but construction, concession terms and local stakeholder risks affect supply-chain resilience.

Heat-pump demand volatility

Germany’s heat‑pump market remains policy‑sensitive, with demand swinging as subsidy rules and GEG expectations change. This volatility affects foreign manufacturers’ capacity planning, distributor inventory, and installer pipelines, raising risk for long‑term investment and cross‑border component sourcing.

Cross-platform 3D software ecosystem

Finland’s software stack for embedded and real-time 3D—exemplified by Qt-based tooling—supports industrial HMI, visualization and simulation interfaces. This reduces porting friction across devices, benefiting global deployments, though talent competition and valuation cycles can affect supplier stability.
