The Comprehensive Geopolitical Risk and Opportunity Map Dashboard aims to be an advanced visualization tool that integrates diverse data sets to provide a holistic view of the global trade environment.
It would help the agency to assess risks and opportunities affecting international trade, including geopolitical instability, foreign exchange fluctuations, pandemic outbreaks, port blockages, and natural disasters.
