Political risks – a hot topic
Globalisation means that companies today are connected with partners and customers all over the world. This brings new challenges, as political developments can have a direct impact on business success.
When it comes to political risks, many people initially think of war and terrorism. However, risks arising from economic efforts by governments or changes in legislation also fall into this category. In addition to tariffs, quotas and subsidies, domestic economic measures such as product standards or taxes can pose a political risk for companies with locations or customers abroad. Companies with a strong international focus in particular should determine the impact of global political risks on their value creation and revenue.
Funk supports companies with a range of services to help them accurately assess political risks and take appropriate measures. The Funk Foundation also regularly publishes comprehensive reports on individual countries.
