Significant events
- “2025 proved challenging for our business due to unforeseen events. The previous years had already taken a toll on our business, with numerous microeconomic issues affecting our market. Ongoing disruptions in global supply chains have increased input uncertainty and lead times. Market demand has contracted due to changes in tariffs, trade agreements, and regulatory requirements, which continue to affect market access and cost structures.”
- “The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to exert a substantial impact on global markets, although the initial shock has lessened over time. While certain markets have developed strategies to adapt to these evolving dynamics, the conflict continues to generate considerable instability and volatility, particularly in commodity markets and supply routes.”
- “United States trade policies significantly impact businesses by influencing international trade and affecting costs, competition, and market access. The size of the tariffs and the manner in which they are being implemented are creating daily turbulence in global trade, especially for countries with active trade relationships with the US. It is anticipated that this will lead to price inflation, potentially prompting the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates as a precautionary measure to curb inflation.”
- “Escalating conflict between Iran and Israel-USA, with broader regional involvement, has emerged as a significant external risk affecting global trade conditions in 2026. The conflict has introduced heightened uncertainty across energy markets, supply chains, and financial systems, with direct and indirect implications for the Company's operations.”
