Rapid-fire events are reshaping the business environment in real time as an intensifying trade war jolts the global economy. The months ahead will undoubtedly bring additional hurdles, deepening complexity for decision makers across regions and industries. One thing is clear: corporate preparedness and resilience will be paramount.
