Overview

The global outlook has stabilized considerably over the last year as emerging markets continue a gradual recovery and developed markets demonstrate resilience to politically driven disruptions.

However, multinational executives should not grow complacent — Chinese growth continues to moderate, the Federal Reserve is tightening monetary policy, and the Trump administration continues to drive uncertainty.

Management priorities will continue to focus on assessing the right risk-adjusted market opportunities, building the right commercial capabilities, and developing effective market-monitoring capabilities across the organization.
