This conflict has notably affected the world economy through fluctuations in energy prices, disruptions in foreign trade, and increased uncertainty.”
- “Additionally, the recent onset of conflict in the Middle East has not yet significantly disrupted supply chains or heightened economic uncertainty. However, we will continue to monitor the situation closely.”
- “Furthermore, the introduction of new U.S. tariffs is expected to have a substantial impact on global trade and economic conditions.”
