Geopolitical Tensions & Secondary Risk

How distant conflicts create local exposure

Overview

Geopolitical events increasingly generate indirect consequences for actors far removed from the original conflict.

Key Developments

  • Sanctions and countermeasures affecting third parties
  • Regulatory tightening following political developments
  • Heightened scrutiny of international partnerships

Why This Matters

Distance no longer equals insulation from risk.

Crisis Implications
