As countries and companies continue to grapple with the effects of the pandemic, nearly 3,000 risk management specialists around the world were surveyed for the Allianz Risk Barometer, uncovering the top 10 business risks that leaders must watch out for in 2021.

Business interruption has topped the chart seven times in the past 10 years. But this year it is even more of a concern; a study by trade credit insurance company Euler Hermes found that 94% of companies surveyed had experienced Covid-related supply chain disruption in 2020.

Unsurprising, ‘pandemic outbreak’ has climbed 15 spots to become the second most significant business risk.
