Advisory House – Major threat or driving force: Mastering political risk

Due to the escalating political risks observed in recent years, which have multifaceted impacts on trading operations, companies are deploying greater efforts to identify, manage, and mitigate these risks. Wars, policies, quotas, all these events have a potential to disrupt, and approaching and anticipating political risk in the most efficient way can not only protect the companies and their interests but also be a competitive advantage.
