Economic Security

• Conduction economic security due diligence
• Action planning for the countermeasures for geopolitical risks
• Geopolitical scenario forecasting of automotive industries in China

The global business environment has entered an era of turbulence with the escalation of the conflict between the United States and China, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the expansion of protectionism in major countries. In addition, the Economic Security Promotion Act has been enacted in Japan and the geopolitical risk and economic security crisis are urgent issues for global companies.

Our expert consultants have conducted numerous analyses and reports on the regulatory trends in the United States, China, and other major countries, as well as the global trends.

Based on our knowledge, we help you to consider your own countermeasures and/or action plan of economic security by analyzing global trends, due diligence and risk diagnosis based on geopolitical scenario analysis.
