Geopolitical risks refer to the threats and uncertainties businesses, investors, and governments face due to political, economic, or social instability in a region or country. These risks arise from how countries interact with each other and how internal political dynamics affect global affairs. In the past geopolitics was of interest but now every company is examining their geopolitical risks in light of tariffs and other global uncertainties.
Marsh issued a Political Risk Report for 2025 to help companies adapt their risk management strategies and it provides analysis of 197 countries and territories. Christopher Coppock who is head of geopolitical and economic risk analysis for credit specialties at Marsh UK also shared his comments with StrategicRisk.
