KPMG Consulting Supervises Nikkei MOOK 'Understanding Geopolitical Risks and Economic Security Through Latest Trends'

KPMG Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Minoru Seki, Atsushi Taguchi, Masahiko Chino; hereinafter 'KPMG Consulting') has supervised the publication of the Nikkei MOOK titled 'Understanding Geopolitical Risks and Economic Security Through Latest Trends,' released by Nikkei Business Publications, Inc., publisher of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.

In recent years, conflicts and tensions around the world have intensified, leading to a major transformation in the international order and increasing uncertainty. Geopolitical risks—such as procurement instability due to supply chain disruptions and export controls—have become normalized, drastically altering the business environment. As the fundamental conditions for business shift, responding to risks arising from economic security and geopolitical factors has become a critical management challenge for companies aiming to ensure business continuity.

In this book, professionals from KPMG Consulting and other KPMG member firms, along with experts in geopolitical risk and economic security, provide multidimensional insights under the theme 'Geopolitical Risks and Global Business.' They analyze recent developments in regions including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, China, and Southeast Asia, and assess their impact on Japan. The book also examines the current state and specific response strategies for industries where economic security is particularly crucial, as well as the organizational capabilities required of businesses.

Additionally, the book features a roundtable discussion with Mr. Koji Gondo, Senior Executive Officer and Chief Risk & Compliance Officer (CRCO) of ENEOS Holdings; a special interview with Mr. Tatsuji Narita, Director-General of the Trade and Economic Security Bureau at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI); case studies of advanced companies and institutions actively addressing economic security; and insights from academic researchers and legal practitioners.
