Geopolitical Escalation Puts Economies Under Pressure, Mahmoud Anbar Says

Rising geopolitical tensions are putting pressure on economies across many countries, economics professor Dr Mahmoud Anbar said.

Anbar linked the strain on the global economy to growing uncertainty, with repercussions for international trade and investment flows.

He said that uncertainty is affecting the movement of trade between countries, adding to the economic pressures associated with the escalation.

Investment flows are also being affected, Anbar noted, highlighting the reach of geopolitical tensions beyond trade.

He added that these pressures are pushing inflation higher, underscoring the challenges facing economies amid continued uncertainty.
