40% identify geopolitical risk as the greatest risk facing the sector
After a year, geopolitical risk has leapt up the agenda – with 40% highlighting it as the greatest risk, up from 26% last year. Both Institutional Investors and Private Equity are worried about it in equal measure – and with Corporates (44%) most worried of all.
Funding and pricing cuts continue to be a concern, and were a narrow second choice by respondents as the greatest risk to the sector. 36% selected it, up from 33% who were worried about a lack of funding last year. Private Equity is particularly bearish on funding and pricing cuts, with 55% selecting it.
Interestingly, only 2% see cybersecurity as the biggest risk.
