Organised crime doesn’t just pose a law enforcement problem - it’s a major societal and business risk. Criminal groups are infiltrating supply chains, logistics firms, and even using legitimate companies to launder money and gain access to sensitive information. #crime #riskmanagement

Have you considered how US jobs data might impact you? Listen to the latest information to consider how you can position yourself, and your business, for success in 2025. Whether you’re navigating supply chains, eyeing the US market for opportunities, or adapting to rising borrowing costs:

The strong US jobs data clearly diminishes the prospect of near-term rate cuts. But if you zoom out, disinflation is still in place, and the labour market has been steadily adjustments. Rate cuts in the US could still come later this year, but today’s strong jobs data decreases the likelihood.

Undersea cables in the Baltic Sea are getting cut and this is a big deal. These cables are the backbone of our power and communication systems. When they go down, everything from your internet to national security is at risk. The recent seizure of a Russian ship shows just how real this threat is.

Risk aversion is the biggest threat to European business in 2025. In a time of geopolitical instability, economic slowdown, and relentless uncertainty, retreating into cost-cutting and conservatism isn’t just risky - it’s fatal. Companies that will dominate 2025 will lean into risk with precision.

The crypto industry has lobbied hard & successfully. The 2024 election cycle saw more than $130 million spent on pro-crypto political
