Key Factors Pointing Toward Greater Business Stability in the Coming Years

This discussion outlines three developments that could bring a greater sense of certainty for business leaders: changes in U.S. political dynamics after the midterm elections, the evolving balance in U.S.-China relations, and shifts in global trade patterns despite reduced American leadership in globalization.

- How mutual dependence between the two countries supports relative stability

■ Global Trade and Supply Chains
- Why free trade as a share of global GDP has remained steady despite U.S. tariff policies
- How businesses and countries are hedging by diversifying trade flows rather than retreating to domestic-only production
- The trade-off between higher supply chain management costs and greater resilience
