Global business complexity often stems from safeguards like employee protection, which, while important for individual countries, can also hinder investment, employment, and wealth creation. With increasing geopolitical tensions, particularly between the USA and China, companies are adapting by developing more complex trade routes that cross multiple trade blocs to ensure resilience. Neutral "connector economies" are becoming key players in global trade, attracting investment from both sides in this new Cold War, though these nations often present significant business challenges themselves.
Firms are now facing the necessity of operating in complex jurisdictions to navigate political uncertainties, with countries like Mexico ranking among the most difficult to do business in. The current global landscape is shaped by three main themes: investing safely in high-complexity environments, managing multinational risks that influence the business climate, and pursuing growth strategies amidst uncertainty. These factors require careful planning to succeed in a more intricate and fragmented global economy.
