For example, American import tariffs have changed global trade flows, but a direct wave of bankruptcies has been avoided thanks to smart adjustments in supply chains and pricing strategies. This shows how important it is to understand market developments and trade risks. Credit insurers can play a crucial role here: by providing entrepreneurs with market insights, offering payment security and supporting them in spreading risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Vulnerable<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all regions are affected equally. Countries that are heavily dependent on exports, such as Canada, France, Spain and the Netherlands, are feeling the pressure more than Germany, the UK, Italy and Belgium, where diversified markets and solid financial foundations provide stability. Sectors that depend on government investment, such as construction and automotive, also remain vulnerable as subsidies come under pressure and financing conditions tighten.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>AI boom?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rapid growth of start-ups and the AI sector offers both opportunities and risks.

In recent years, business formation has accelerated rapidly, especially in Europe and the US. New companies stimulate innovation, but are often also more financially vulnerable and sensitive to economic shocks. Credit insurers can play a key role here by giving young companies access to financing and protecting them against default by their customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Predictability?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The picture is clear: bankruptcy pressure is increasing, but companies that understand risks can arm themselves against uncertainty and even exploit new opportunities.
