Research Reports

The growing shift in global trade toward emerging markets is the biggest trade opportunity for U.S. exporters and importers today.

More and more U.S. companies are rushing to enter key emerging economies —especially those with which the United States has negotiated free trade agreements (FTAs).

But, doing business in emerging markets equals greater risks.

According to a recent Atradius survey, insufficient information on creditworthiness of potential buyers, political influences, poor protection by law, weakness in the legal system, and corruption are seen as primary trade risks in China, Mexico, India, Brazil, and Russia.
