Signal Perceived risks spread from economic uncertainty at 26% to geopolitics and supply chains at 21%

Summary

When Deloitte asked finance leaders to name their two biggest risks, no single threat dominated the answers. Economic uncertainty topped the list at 26%, but only narrowly. Financial reporting and disclosure rules followed at 25%, data privacy regulation at 24% and tax regulation at 22%. Geopolitical tension and supply chain disruption shared sixth place at 21%, a mere six points below the leading concern. This flat distribution suggests that many finance chiefs are handling several serious risks in parallel instead of concentrating on one. It reinforces the report's broader picture of a crowded risk landscape in which regulatory, economic and external shocks all compete for attention.
