Turizm döviz girişi ve talep

2025 turizm geliri 65,23 milyar $ (+%6,8), ziyaretçi 63,9 milyon (+%2,7). Güçlü döviz girişi cari dengeyi ve hizmet sektörünü destekliyor; perakende, konaklama ve lojistikte kapasite planlamasını etkiliyor. Bölgesel gerilimler talepte ani düşüş riski taşır.

PIF giga-project reprioritisation cycle

Vision 2030 mega-projects exceed US$1tn planned value, with ~US$115bn contracts awarded since 2019, but sponsors are recalibrating scope and timelines. This shifts procurement pipelines, payment cycles, and counterparty risk for EPC, materials, and services firms.

Defense buildup reshapes industry

With defense spending reaching ~2% of GDP in FY2025 and election momentum for a more proactive posture, procurement, dual-use controls, and cyber/intelligence requirements are expanding. Opportunities rise for aerospace, electronics, and services, alongside higher regulatory scrutiny.

Critical minerals alliance, China risk

Japan is aligning with the US and EU on a critical minerals framework to diversify mining, refining, recycling and stockpiling, responding to China’s export controls on rare earths. Expect tighter compliance expectations, higher input costs, and new investment incentives in non-China supply.

Trade–security linkage in nuclear submarines

Tariff friction is delaying alliance follow-on talks on nuclear-powered submarines, enrichment, and spent-fuel reprocessing. Because trade and security are being negotiated in parallel, businesses face headline risk around dual-use controls, licensing timelines, and defense-adjacent supply chains.

Carbon border adjustment momentum

Australia’s Carbon Leakage Review recommends an import-only border carbon adjustment starting with cement/clinker, potentially extending to ammonia, steel and glass. This would mirror the Safeguard Mechanism and reshape landed costs, supplier selection, and emissions data requirements for importers.

Weak growth, high household debt

Thailand’s growth outlook remains subdued (around 1.6–2% in 2026; ~2% projected by officials), constrained by tight credit and household debt near 86.8% of GDP (higher including informal debt). This depresses domestic demand, raises NPL risk, and limits pricing power.

Digital markets enforcement on platforms

The UK CMA secured proposed commitments from Apple and Google to improve app-store fairness, limit use of rivals’ non‑public data, and expand interoperability. This signals tougher UK digital regulation, affecting monetization models, developer access, and platform compliance obligations.

TCMB makroihtiyati sıkılaştırma

Merkez Bankası, yabancı para kredilerde 8 haftalık büyüme sınırını %1’den %0,5’e indirdi; kısa vadeli TL dış fonlamada zorunlu karşılıkları artırdı. Finansmana erişim, ticaret kredileri, nakit yönetimi ve yatırım fizibilitesi daha hassas hale geliyor.

Sanctions expansion and enforcement risk

U.S. sanctions and enforcement are intensifying on Iran-linked networks, including “shadow fleet” logistics and digital-asset channels, increasing secondary-risk exposure for shippers, traders, insurers, and banks. Compliance costs rise, with higher disruption risk for Middle East supply routes.

Rising wages and labor tightness

Regular wages rose 3.09% in 2025 to NT$47,884, with electronics overtime at 27.9 hours—highest in 46 years—reflecting AI-driven demand and labor constraints. Cost inflation and capacity bottlenecks may pressure contract terms, automation capex, and talent retention strategies.

Iran confrontation escalation overhang

Fragile US–Iran diplomacy and Israel’s demands on missiles/proxies keep conflict risk elevated. Any renewed strikes could trigger missile, cyber, or maritime retaliation affecting regional energy flows, aviation routes, investor risk appetite, and compliance screening for counterparties.

Industrial decarbonisation via CCUS

The UK is moving carbon capture from planning to build-out: five major CCUS projects reached financial close, with over 100 projects in development and potential 100+ MtCO₂ storage capacity annually by mid‑2030s. Policy clarity and funding pace will shape investment, costs, and competitiveness for heavy industry.

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.

Undersea cable and cyber resilience

Taiwan’s connectivity relies heavily on subsea cables and faces recurrent cyber pressure. New initiatives to harden cables and telecoms signal operational risk for cloud, finance, and BPO services; companies should diversify routes, enhance redundancy, and test incident response.

Port labor and automation tensions

East/Gulf Coast port labor negotiations and disputes over automation remain a recurring tail risk for U.S. logistics. Even with tentative deals, threats of slowdowns or strikes can disrupt ocean schedules, raise demurrage, and push costly rerouting toward West Coast or air freight.

Fiscal tightening and sovereign risk

France’s 2026 budget continues consolidation, shifting costs onto sub‑national governments (≈€2.3bn revenue impact in 2026) and sustaining scrutiny after prior sovereign downgrades. Higher funding costs can pressure public procurement, infrastructure timelines, and corporate financing conditions.

Geopolitical realignment of corridors

With European routes constrained, Russia deepens reliance on non-Western corridors and intermediaries—through the Caucasus, Central Asia, and maritime transshipment—to sustain trade. This raises reputational and compliance risk for firms operating in transit states, where due diligence on beneficial ownership and end-use is increasingly critical.

Enerji arzı çeşitlenmesi ve LNG

Türkiye’nin LNG alımları artıyor; uzun vadeli kontratlar ve FSRU kapasitesi genişlemesi gündemde. Bu, enerji yoğun sektörlerde maliyet öngörülebilirliğini artırabilir; ancak gaz fiyatlarına ve jeopolitik risklere duyarlılık sürer. Sanayi yatırımlarında enerji tedarik sözleşmeleri kritikleşiyor.

E-commerce import surge and rules

Officials estimate ~90% of goods listed on major marketplaces are imports, renewing debate on origin tagging and potential local-content display requirements. Cross-border sellers and platforms face evolving compliance, while domestic manufacturers may benefit from protective measures but risk demand-side backlash.

Fiscal stimulus mandate reshapes markets

The ruling coalition’s landslide win supports proactive stimulus and strategic spending while markets watch debt sustainability. Equity tailwinds may favor exporters and strategic industries, but bond-yield sensitivity can tighten financial conditions and affect infrastructure, PPP, and procurement pipelines.

Semiconductor Mission 2.0 push

India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 prioritizes equipment, materials, indigenous IP and supply-chain depth, building on ~₹1.6 lakh crore in approved projects. Customs duty waivers on capex reduce entry costs, supporting chip packaging, OSAT and design ecosystems that affect tech supply chains.

Port capacity expansion reshapes logistics

London Gateway surpassed 3m TEU in 2025 (+52% YoY) and Southampton exceeded 2m TEU, backed by multi‑billion‑pound expansion plans and added rail capacity. Improved throughput can reduce bottlenecks, but concentration risk and labour/rail constraints remain for time-sensitive supply chains.

Iran shadow-fleet enforcement escalation

New U.S. actions target Iranian petrochemical/oil networks—sanctioning entities and dozens of vessels—aiming to raise costs and risks for illicit shipping. This increases maritime compliance burdens, insurance/chartering uncertainty, and potential energy-price volatility affecting global input costs.

China trade deal and market pivot

China is offering selected duty-free access and investment/technology-transfer commitments, reinforcing China as a top trade partner. This can boost minerals, agriculture and components exports, but may deepen dependency, invite Western scrutiny, and intensify local industry competition.

MSCI downgrade and market access

MSCI flagged Indonesia’s equity market “investability” risks, freezing index changes and threatening a downgrade. Authorities raised minimum free float to 15% and discussed disclosure reforms. Persistent volatility can raise funding costs, complicate exits, and deter portfolio and FDI inflows.

US–India tariff reset framework

A new interim framework cuts US reciprocal tariffs on Indian-origin goods to 18% (from peaks near 50%) while India lowers barriers on US industrial and selected farm goods. Expect near-term export upside, but compliance, sector carve-outs and implementation timelines remain uncertain.

E-Auto-Förderung und Autowandel

Die Regierung reaktiviert E-Auto-Subventionen (1.500–6.000 €, ca. 3 Mrd. €, bis zu 800.000 Fahrzeuge). Das stabilisiert Nachfrage, beeinflusst Flottenentscheidungen und Zulieferketten. Gleichzeitig verschärfen EU-Klimaziele und Konkurrenz aus China Preisdruck, Lokalisierung und Technologietransfer-Debatten.

Anti-corruption tightening and governance

A new Party resolution on anti-corruption and “wastefulness” is set to intensify prevention, post-audit controls, and enforcement in high-risk sectors. This can reduce informal costs over time, yet heightens near-term compliance risk, procurement scrutiny, and potential project delays during investigations.

Coal output controls, export risk

Jakarta is signaling coal production limits for 2026 (proposal: 600m tons vs 790m in 2025), though top miners may be exempt. Annual RKAB approvals create uncertainty, thinning spot liquidity and complicating long-term export contracts for Asia’s import-dependent buyers.

Fiscal instability and shutdown risk

A recent partial US government shutdown underscores recurring budget brinkmanship. Delays to agencies and data releases can disrupt procurement, licensing, and regulatory timelines, affecting contractors, trade facilitation, and planning for firms reliant on federal approvals or spending.

Immigration tightening and talent constraints

Stricter U.S. visa policies are disrupting global talent mobility. H‑1B stamping backlogs in India reportedly extend to 2027, alongside enhanced vetting and a wage-weighted selection rule effective Feb 27, 2026, raising staffing risk for tech, healthcare, and R&D operations.

State asset sales and privatization push

Government signals deeper private-sector role via IPO/asset-sale programs and state ownership policy, highlighted in Davos outreach. Deals such as potential wind-asset sales illustrate momentum. For FDI, opportunity is rising, but governance clarity and equal competition remain key.

Geopolitical trade disruptions risk

Turkey’s regional diplomacy and conflict spillovers in the Black Sea and Middle East raise sudden policy-shift risk for trade flows, shipping insurance, and supplier reliability. Companies should stress-test routes through the Turkish Straits, Eastern Med, and nearby land corridors.

Balochistan security and CPEC exposure

Militant attacks in Balochistan underscore elevated security risks around CPEC assets, transport corridors, and Gwadar-linked logistics. Higher security costs, insurance premiums, and project delays weigh on FDI appetite, especially for infrastructure, mining, and energy ventures with long payback periods.

Energy security via US LNG pivot

Taiwan plans major US purchases (2025–2029) including $44.4B LNG/crude, lifting US LNG share toward 25% and reducing reliance on Middle East routes. This reorients energy supply chains, affects power-price risk, and increases the strategic value of resilient terminals and grid investments.
