Bölgesel yeniden inşa ve altyapı ihaleleri

Deprem bölgesinde ulaşım hatları ve sanayi bağlantılarını güçlendiren yeni demiryolu projeleri (ör. Nurdağı–Kahramanmaraş) planlanıyor. Bu, inşaat, lojistik, çimento-çelik ve makine ekipman talebini artırırken; ihale şartları, finansman ve yerel kapasite kısıtları risk yaratabilir.

Souveraineté numérique et cloud

L’État pousse la migration de données sensibles vers des clouds européens (OVH, Scaleway) pour réduire la dépendance aux GAFAM. Cela influence marchés publics, choix d’hébergement et conformité (résidence des données), et crée des opportunités pour fournisseurs IT européens.

Property slump and confidence drag

Housing weakness persists despite policy easing: January new‑home prices fell 0.4% m/m and 3.1% y/y, with declines in 62 of 70 cities. This weighs on consumption and credit, increasing payment risk, project delays, and cautious capex by China‑exposed partners.

Clean-energy localization requirements

Industrial policy and tax credits increasingly favor North American and allied-country content, tightening rules on “foreign” supply chains. Firms in batteries, EVs, solar, and critical minerals must document provenance, redesign sourcing, and manage credit eligibility risk in project economics.

Санкции против арктического LNG

ЕС предлагает запрет обслуживания LNG‑танкеров и ледоколов, что бьёт по арктическим проектам и логистике. При этом в январе 2026 ЕС купил 92,6% продукции Yamal LNG (1,69 млн т), сохраняя зависимость и создавая волатильность регуляторных решений.

Pemex: deuda, rescate y pagos

Pemex mantiene alta carga financiera: Moody’s prevé pérdidas operativas promedio de US$7.000 millones en 2026‑27 y dependencia de apoyo público. Su deuda ronda US$84.500 millones y presiona déficit/soberano, impactando riesgo país, proveedores y pagos en proyectos energéticos.

Transbordo China y cumplimiento aduanero

EE.UU. acusa a México de servir como “staging area” para bienes chinos y posibles prácticas de evasión arancelaria. Aumentará escrutinio aduanero, auditorías de origen y medidas antidumping, elevando riesgo de detenciones en frontera, sanciones y mayores costos de compliance.

Risco fiscal e credibilidade

A dívida bruta projeta-se em ~83,6% do PIB ao fim do mandato e pode superar 88–90% a partir de 2029, reacendendo debate sobre recalibrar o arcabouço fiscal. Isso eleva prêmio de risco, afeta câmbio, juros e custos de capital para investidores.

Nuclear expansion and export-linked cooperation

Seoul is restarting new reactors (two 1.4GW units plus a 700MW SMR) while pursuing expanded US civil nuclear rights and fuel-cycle cooperation. This reshapes electricity price expectations, industrial siting, and opportunities for EPC, components, and uranium services.

Sanctions compliance and re-export controls

Reuters reporting highlights ongoing “parallel” trade routes to Russia via China, prompting Korea to crack down on indirect exports, including used vehicles. Companies face elevated screening expectations, documentation burdens, and reputational risk if products are diverted to sanctioned end users.

Monetary easing amid weak growth

Inflation fell to 3.0% in January (services 4.4%) and unemployment rose to 5.2%, lifting expectations of a March Bank Rate cut from 3.75% to 3.5%. Shifting rates affect GBP, borrowing costs, hedging, and demand forecasts for exporters and investors.

Labour shortages, migration recalibration

Mining, infrastructure and advanced manufacturing face persistent skills shortages; industry is pushing faster skilled-migration pathways while government tightens integrity and conditions in some visa streams. Project schedules, wage costs and compliance burdens are key variables for investors and EPC firms.

EU market access competitiveness squeeze

EU remains Pakistan’s largest high-value export market via GSP+ through 2027, but India’s EU trade deal erodes Pakistan’s tariff advantage. Textiles—about three‑quarters of EU imports from Pakistan—face tighter price and compliance pressure, threatening margins and investment plans.

Vision 2030 investment recalibration

Saudi Arabia is resetting Vision 2030: the $925bn PIF shifts its 2026–2030 strategy toward industry, minerals, AI and tourism while re-scoping mega-projects (e.g., parts of NEOM). This changes procurement pipelines, financing availability, and partner selection for foreign investors.

Nickel quotas reshape supply

Jakarta is tightening nickel mining RKAB quotas, slashing major producers’ 2026 allowances and targeting national output around 260–270 million tons versus 379 million in 2025. Ore shortages may boost imports, alter battery-material supply chains, and raise project execution risk.

EU-Nachhaltigkeitsregeln und Lieferkettenpflichten

Die Umsetzung/Überarbeitung von EU-CSDDD/„Omnibus“-Paketen und die Verzahnung mit deutschen Sorgfaltspflichten verschieben Compliance-Anforderungen. Fokus auf Tier‑1‑Lieferanten, Haftungsfragen und Berichtspflichten verändern Vertragsgestaltung, Auditprogramme und Lieferantenauswahl; Reputations- und Bußgeldrisiken bleiben.

Nearshoring bajo presión competitiva

Aunque el nearshoring sigue atrayendo IED en polos fronterizos, el sector maquilador reporta cancelación de programas IMMEX y pérdida de empleos, con capital migrando a países con incentivos. Cambios laborales/costos y la sustitución de insumos chinos (certificaciones) frenan proyectos.

New fees, taxes, and compliance load

Egypt continues updating VAT and tax administration and adding port/terminal charges (e.g., inspection fees). Combined with evolving customs requirements such as mandatory Advance Cargo Information for air freight, compliance costs and penalties risks rise for importers and logistics providers.

Property slump and demand uncertainty

Housing remains a key drag on confidence and consumption despite targeted easing. January showed slower month-on-month declines, yet year-on-year weakness persists across most cities. Multinationals should expect uneven regional demand, supplier stress, and heightened counterparty and payment risks.

AI chip export controls tighten

Washington is enforcing stringent licensing and end-use conditions for advanced AI chips to China (e.g., Nvidia H200), including KYC and monitoring. Policy swings can quickly change market access, cloud capacity planning, and JV strategies, while raising diversion, enforcement, and reputational risks.

Steel and aluminum tariff shock

U.S. metals tariffs are pushing domestic premiums to records, tightening supply and lifting input costs for autos, aerospace, construction, and packaging. Companies may face contract repricing, margin squeeze, and a renewed need for hedging, substitution, and re-qualifying non-U.S. suppliers.

Budget 2026 capex-led growth

Union Budget 2026–27 targets a 4.3% fiscal deficit with ₹12.2 lakh crore capex, prioritizing roads, rail corridors, waterways, and urban zones. Expect improved project pipelines and demand, but also procurement scrutiny and execution risk across states.

EU battery regulation compliance burden

EU Batteries Regulation requirements—carbon footprint calculation and disclosure, due diligence and upcoming battery passports—raise data, auditing and IT costs across French supply chains. Non-compliance risks market access, while compliant producers can differentiate via lower-carbon nuclear-powered output.

Cross-strait coercion and shipping risk

China’s escalating air, naval, and coast-guard activity supports gray-zone “quarantine” tactics that could raise insurance premiums, slow port operations, and disrupt Taiwan-bound shipping without formal war. Firms should stress-test logistics, buffer inventories, and ensure alternative routing and contracts.

Tax uncertainty and retrospective levies

Court-backed ‘super tax’ recoveries (around Rs310bn) and concerns over retroactive application undermine predictability. Firms face higher effective tax burdens, potential disputes and arbitration risk. This dampens FDI appetite and encourages short-horizon, defensive capital allocation.

Deprem yeniden inşa ve altyapı talebi

Deprem sonrası konut, ticari ve sanayi yeniden inşası büyük kamu/özel yatırım gerektiriyor. Yabancı müteahhitlik, yapı malzemeleri ve mühendislik hizmetlerinde fırsat var; ancak ihale şeffaflığı, finansman koşulları ve yerel tedarik zorunlulukları proje riskini artırabilir.

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.

Mining investment and regulatory drag

South Africa risks missing the next commodity cycle as exploration spending remains weak—under 1% of global exploration capital—amid policy uncertainty and infrastructure constraints. Rail and port underperformance directly reduces realized mineral export volumes, raising unit costs and deterring greenfield projects.

Immigration tightening and labor supply

Policies projected to cut legal immigration by roughly 33–50% over four years could deepen labor shortages in logistics, tech, healthcare, and manufacturing. Firms may see wage pressure, slower expansion, and increased reliance on automation and offshore service delivery.

Industrial policy reshaping investment

CHIPS/IRA-style industrial policy continues redirecting capital toward U.S. manufacturing, clean tech, and strategic supply chains, with “guardrails” limiting certain China-linked expansions. Multinationals must weigh subsidy benefits against localization requirements, reporting, and constraints on overseas capacity.

Cybersecurity and data regulation tightening

Rising cyber and foreign-interference concerns are driving stricter critical-infrastructure security expectations and data-governance requirements. Multinationals should anticipate higher compliance costs, vendor-risk audits, and incident-reporting duties, influencing cloud sourcing, cross-border data flows, and M&A diligence.

Disinflation and rate-cut cycle

Inflation has eased into the 1–3% target, with recent readings near 1.8% and markets pricing further Bank of Israel rate cuts. Lower borrowing costs may support demand, but a stronger shekel can squeeze exporters and reshuffle competitiveness across tradable sectors.

Broader mineral export-ban expansion

Indonesia is considering extending raw-material export bans beyond nickel and bauxite to additional minerals (e.g., tin) to force domestic processing. This raises policy and contract risk for traders while creating opportunities for investors in smelters, refining, and industrial-park infrastructure.

Tech investment sentiment and resilience

Israel’s innovation ecosystem remains a core investment draw, but conflict-linked volatility and talent constraints influence funding conditions and valuations. Companies should stress-test R&D continuity, cyber risk, and cross-border collaboration, while watching for policy incentives supporting strategic sectors.

Treasury market liquidity drains

Large Treasury settlements and heavy auction calendars can pull cash onto dealer balance sheets, reducing liquidity elsewhere. Tightened repo and margin dynamics raise volatility across risk assets, complicate collateral management, and increase the chance of disruptive funding squeezes for corporates.

Weak growth and deindustrialisation

Germany’s economy remains stuck near 2019 output with private investment down ~11% since 2019 and unemployment above 3 million. Persistent cost, regulation and infrastructure constraints are pressuring manufacturing footprint decisions, supplier stability and demand forecasts.
