As companies expand their investments and operations globally, they must navigate the challenges of minimizing risks and maximizing performance in unpredictable environments. These challenges are particularly acute in developing nations. While rapid growth in these markets creates new consumer opportunities and investment prospects, their distinct developmental paths also pose significant obstacles. These include low corporate governance standards, emerging institutions, pervasive corruption, and immature regulatory frameworks, all of which amplify operational and reputational risks. Governments in these regions often play a crucial role in the corporate sector, adopting multiple roles that blur into the private sector. Weak rule of law, combined with unpredictable state policy changes, increases regulatory uncertainties. Additionally, cultural norms place a strong emphasis on personal relationships.

In many of the countries where we operate, governments are heavily involved in strategic economic sectors.
