Global trade insights (GTI) tracker

Stay informed on global trade, tariffs and economic developments with the Forvis Mazars global trade insights tracker (GTI tracker). Designed for senior business leaders, it delivers strategic insight into trade policy and market risks.

In today’s volatile geopolitical and economic environment, trade remains a powerful lever—and pressure point—for international businesses. From evolving sanctions regimes and tariff realignments to disrupted supply chains and emerging blocs, global trade is being reshaped at pace. 

Our GTI tracker is a central hub designed to keep business leaders worldwide informed about the latest developments affecting cross-border trade and international investment. By combining recent updates with expert analysis, it offers a strategic view of risk and opportunity in a rapidly changing world.
    

A new era of global trade complexity 

According to our C-suite barometer outlook for 2025, 93% of business leaders globally expect growth in 2025 - yet many are doing so while navigating considerable uncertainty. Geopolitical instability (30%) and increased competition (35%) are now seen as the biggest threats to their organisations. 

 These concerns are not theoretical. Recent events have seen major trade routes strained by conflict, sanctions, climate challenges and regulation. Businesses are increasingly dealing with localised supply chain bottlenecks, dual-use controls, shifting tariff regimes and diverging regulatory standards, impacting costs, compliance, and strategic planning. 

 The GTI tracker supports decision-making with reliable, relevant content. It includes: 

  • Updates on key developments in global trade policy, tariffs and sanctions 
  • Expert commentary on economic shifts and regional trade implications 
  • Practical insights on trade reforms, tax impact and regulatory updates 
  • Analysis of supply chain risk, trade security and resilience strategies 

 Our global trade insights tracker is designed to provide leaders with an understanding of what changes are happening around the world, and the impact for their business across markets.
