The EU voted to ban new internal combustion engine car sales by 2035, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. This EV transition disrupts Europe's auto industry, which lags behind China. The EU imposed tariffs on Chinese vehicles in response. The challenge now for the EU is to maintain a leading automotive manufacturing industry while achieving the carbon neutrality targets it has set itself.

World trade is in transition, with the end of the 'global village' era and stagnation in its share of global GDP. Geopolitical upheavals, from Ukraine to the Middle East, are driving fragmentation, while 'friend-shoring' redirects trade based on alliances. Connector countries are rising, and new trade routes are emerging, but major powers like the U.S. and China remain deeply interdependent. Globalization is reorganizing to adapt to rising protectionism.
#Economic publications
Coface survey on payment behavior shows a lengthening of the average payment period, while 85% of companies have also experienced payment delays, with the majority indicating that they are longer and more numerous than in 2023. This deterioration in payment behavior is reflected in a further rise in insolvencies, which have now stabilized at much higher levels than in 2019 and 2023.
