If the last 12 months has taught us anything it’s that risk needs to be hard baked into every decision we make. It’s impossible to predict when high-impact events like a pandemic will occur, but taking a forward-looking view on threats to resilience and their implications should now be top of mind for global business. In this year’s Political Risk Outlook, we explore where, how and why some of the key challenges might emerge in what has become an unprecedented period of change.

2020’s legacy – debt, unrest and creeping volatility

Outside of health, it is economically that the impacts of the Covid crisis have been felt most sharply. Reflecting on the biggest movers and shakers of 2020 in our suite of risk indices provides key signals to some of the market-shifting risks that may develop over the next year and beyond. By far the greatest levels of volatility in the 160 risk issues we measure were seen in 10 of our economic indices, including Economic Growth and Fiscal Balance.
