31 Mar 2020

There have been significant variations in operating and business environment risk across locations driven by multiple factors such as quality of IT/BP infrastructure, safety and security, digital readiness, quality of life, geopolitical, regulatory, and macroeconomic environment. Across Asia Pacific, most locations offer favourable operating environment; however, coronavirus outbreak has caused significant disruption in the day-to-day operations of IT-BP services firms in China, South Korea, and Japan. Within Americas, there are some concerns around regulatory environment, digital readiness, quality of infrastructure, and safety and security across locations such as Argentina, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In Europe, Middle East and Africa, most locations offer favourable business environment backed by strong infrastructure, strong macroeconomic conditions, and relatively stable political systems.
