Most of the key trends weforecast for 2023held true. The war in Ukraine continued unabated and Russia decoupled further from the West, leaning increasingly closer to Asia. Both the US and China continued to use regulatory measures to further their competing geopolitical objectives. Climate-related natural disasters and climate politics were indeed global focal points for governments across the globe, and many companies had to readjust their compliance strategies as new ESG regulations came into force. However, a severe winter energy crunch in the northern hemisphere did not materialise due to the efforts of European governments, and expected elections in Bangladesh and Pakistan were pushed into 2024.
