Unterschiedliche Planungsstände und Fristen erzeugen stark regionale Nachfrage-Cluster, beeinflussen Standortwahl, Vertriebsnetze, Lagerhaltung sowie Projektpipelines internationaler Wärme- und Infrastrukturinvestoren.

Energy export policy and pricing

US LNG export capacity and permitting decisions influence global gas prices and industrial competitiveness. Any tightening of export approvals or infrastructure constraints can raise volatility for energy-intensive manufacturers abroad, while expanded capacity strengthens US leverage and attracts downstream investment into North America.

Nickel quota tightening and oversight

Indonesia’s nickel supply outlook is tightening amid plans to cut ore quotas and delays in RKAB approvals and MOMS verification, lifting benchmark prices. Separately, reporting lapses at major smelters highlight regulatory gaps. EV-battery supply chains face price, compliance, and continuity shocks.

Mobilization-driven labour and HR risk

Ongoing mobilization and enforcement practices tighten labour supply and raise HR compliance and reputational risks for employers. Firms face higher wage pressure, absenteeism, and operational continuity challenges, while needing robust documentation for exemptions/critical-worker status and strengthened duty-of-care in high-stress environments.

Infraestrutura portuária e concessões

Portos movimentaram recorde de 1,4 bilhão de toneladas em 2025 (+6,1%), com contêineres +7,2%. Leilões e autorizações somaram investimentos bilionários. Para comércio exterior, melhora capacidade e reduz gargalos, mas exige gestão de tarifas, regulação e SLAs logísticos.

مسار صندوق النقد والإصلاحات

مراجعات برنامج صندوق النقد تركز على الانضباط المالي، توسيع القاعدة الضريبية، وإدارة مخاطر المالية العامة. التقدم أو التعثر ينعكس مباشرة على ثقة المستثمرين، تدفقات العملة الأجنبية، وتوافر التمويل، مع حساسية اجتماعية قد تؤخر قرارات تحرير الأسعار والدعم.

Défense: hausse des dépenses 2026

Le budget 2026 prévoit 57,2 Md€ pour les armées (+13%) et une actualisation de la LPM attendue au printemps. Opportunités: marchés défense, cybersécurité, drones; contraintes: conformité export, priorités industrielles, tensions sur capacités et main-d’œuvre.

Gaza border operations and disruption risk

Rafah crossing reopening is proceeding with tight security screening and limited volumes (initially ~150–200 people/day), affecting movement and regional stability perceptions. Escalation or administrative disputes can disrupt Sinai logistics, labor mobility, and investor risk appetite.

EV overcapacity and trade defenses

China’s EV, battery, and solar sectors face margin pressure from domestic overcapacity alongside expanding foreign trade defenses (anti-subsidy probes, local-content rules). Exporters and investors should expect higher tariffs, forced supply-chain restructuring, and increased scrutiny of subsidies and pricing.

Foreign-exchange liquidity and devaluation risk

Egypt’s external financing needs keep FX availability tight, raising risks of renewed pound depreciation, import backlogs, and payment delays. Firms should plan for fluctuating LC/TT settlement, higher hedging costs, and periodic administrative controls that can disrupt procurement cycles and profit repatriation.

Federal shutdown and fiscal brinkmanship

Recurring U.S. fiscal standoffs are disrupting federal services and increasing macro uncertainty. A partial government shutdown began after Congress missed funding deadlines, with estimates of up to $11B GDP loss if prolonged. Impacts include delayed permits, customs/agency backlogs, contractor payment risks, and market volatility.

Gaza ceasefire fragility, demilitarization

Israel’s operating environment hinges on a fragile Gaza ceasefire and a staged Hamas disarmament framework, with recurring violations. Any breakdown would rapidly raise security, staffing, and logistics risk, delaying investment decisions and increasing insurance, compliance, and contingency costs.

Riesgos de seguridad y continuidad

La violencia criminal y extorsión siguen siendo un riesgo estructural para operaciones, transporte y personal, especialmente en corredores industriales y logísticos. Incrementa costos de seguros, seguridad privada y cumplimiento, y puede provocar interrupciones de proveedores y rutas, afectando puntualidad exportadora.

Data protection enforcement and cyber risk

CNIL’s €5m fine over the France Travail breach (36.8m affected) highlights tougher enforcement expectations. Companies face increased scrutiny on IAM, MFA, vendor access, and breach response, impacting cloud architecture, outsourcing models, and regulatory exposure.

Ports labor negotiations and logistics fragility

Ongoing labor-contract uncertainty at key U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports heightens strike and congestion tail risks. Importers should diversify gateways, build inventory buffers, and stress-test inland transport capacity to avoid repeat disruptions and demurrage spikes.

War-risk insurance capacity expands

New DFC-backed war-risk reinsurance facilities (e.g., $25 million capacity supporting up to $100 million limits) are gradually improving insurability for assets and cargo in Ukraine. Better coverage can unlock FDI and reconstruction contracts, but pricing, exclusions, and geographic limits remain tight.

Reopening travel, visa facilitation

Large rises in cross-border trips and wider visa-free/extended transit policies (including UK visa-free plans) improve commercial mobility and service trade. However, implementation details and reciprocity remain variable, requiring firms to plan for compliance, documentation, and policy reversals.

Currency management and capital shifts

The yuan has strengthened toward multi‑year highs, but authorities are signaling caution to avoid rapid appreciation. Reports of guidance to curb bank U.S. Treasury exposure align with reserve diversification and yuan internationalization, affecting FX hedging costs, repatriation strategy, and USD funding assumptions.

China-tech decoupling feedback loop

U.S. controls and tariffs are accelerating reciprocal Chinese policies to reduce reliance on U.S. chips and financial exposure. This dynamic increases regulatory fragmentation, raises substitution risk for U.S. technology vendors, and forces global firms to design products, data flows, and financing for bifurcated regimes.

Border and neighbor-country trade disruptions

Thai-Cambodian tensions and Myanmar instability create episodic border closures, rerouting costs, and inventory risk for agribusiness and manufacturers. Myanmar’s reduced FX conversion requirement (15%) may help liquidity, but security and import controls still threaten cross-border trade reliability.

Freight rail recovery, lingering constraints

Rail performance is improving, supporting commodities exports; Richards Bay coal exports rose ~11% in 2025 to over 57Mt as corridors stabilised. Yet derailments, security incidents, rolling-stock shortages and infrastructure limits persist, elevating logistics risk for bulk and containerised supply chains.

Photonics and optics capacity

Finland’s optics and photonics base—supporting high-end XR headsets and sensing—attracts scale-up capital, including semiconductor-laser manufacturing expansion. This improves component availability for simulation devices, yet exposes firms to specialized materials dependencies and export-sensitive dual-use scrutiny.

Economic-security industrial policy intensifies

Taiwan is deepening “economic security” cooperation with partners, prioritizing trusted supply chains in AI, chips, drones, and critical inputs. This favors vetted vendors and data-governance discipline, but increases screening, documentation, and resilience requirements for cross-border projects and M&A.
