2023 is likely to be another year out of equilibrium. Accumulating shocks from the COVID-19 virus pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine conflict are proving pervasive and persistent and are profoundly reorganizing global structures and relationships.

We see five key risk areas to watch for 2023: economic dissonance, reshuffling labor markets, supply chain stabilization, energy security and the energy transition ahead, and the global security environment. These tests are interconnected and have vast commercial impacts from trade protectionism to financial market volatility to civil unrest risk.

In this podcast episode, our experts provide a comprehensive analysis of the global economic, industry, and country risk prospects in the year ahead and give you timely insights for charting your organization’s course in 2023.
