Europe

Identify macro opportunities and risks in a new European landscape

Will the EU integrate further or fragment? How serious is the populist backlash against Brussels? What direction will European industrial policies take amid greater competition from China? What will the long-term impact be on Europe’s energy policy following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?

We help our clients prepare for shifts in politics, policy and trade as the EU faces a new era of uncertainty and disruption.

“Europe is entering a new age of strategic trade and energy policy impacting every dimension of the economy and every corporate sector.”
