Challenging factors and significant risks including the rise of populism, geopolitical conflicts, tightening monetary policy by the US Federation, the US dollar appreciation, currency depreciation in emerging economies, capital outflows, stock market decline, and rising global debt, resulting in economic instability and heightened global tensions. Moreover, currency crises in Argentina, Russia, and Turkey raised concerns spreading through global markets. The complicated Brexit negotiations and ongoing US-China Trade War had a severe impact on enterprises widely across countries and sectors.
