Overview

A radical shift in U.S. foreign aid policy promises to splinter aid-enabled infrastructure, disrupting business operations in developing markets.

Knowledge exchange, supply chains, and access to working capital will also be disrupted. Companies must assess their exposure and engage collectively to shape alternatives to maintain global competitiveness.
