A decrease in government and economic stability in developed and emerging nations, coupled with shock waves caused by Donald Trump's presidency, Brexit, President Vladimir Putin confronting Nato and the EU, and an increasingly assertive China mean there are more uncertainty and dangers ahead over the coming year, warns a report by risk analytics firm Verisk Maplecroft. It also warns that Mexico is heading towards a recession, risks in South America are increasing, left-wing populist parties are on the rise in the South China Sea, the rule of law is eroding in Bosnia, and Turkish President Recep Erdogan is increasing his power over Turkey.
