From Uncertainty to Clarity: Making Risk Work in the Americas

The Americas region is facing heightened levels of risk. With long-standing geopolitical relationships rapidly changing and growing economic uncertainty driven by shifting U.S. trade and economic policies, as many as 91% of executives in the region agreed that the global risk landscape is now more defined by crisis than at any time in recent memory.

While concerns have shifted since the executives were surveyed, regulatory risk remained the biggest challenge, with brand risk and cyber also among the top five concerns. The realism of the risk landscape, including the optimism of AI slowing down, is beneficial as it encourages organizations to approach their risk management with a strategic mindset that focuses on long-term value rather than short-term gains.
