In the first of three themes explored in TMF Group's
Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) 2024, we analyse the impact
of global regulatory compliance on foreign investments and explore
what organisations are doing to mitigate the risks associated with
changing legislation.
Regulatory risk has been identified as the most challenging
factor for investors worldwide. But despite some shifts in
regulatory compliance in the last year, many experts report their
clients to be prepared for future reporting obligations, with
nearly half asserting that regulatory compliance actually
facilitates foreign investment. Of the 22% that find regulation
hinders investment, rule complexity, language barriers and a lack
of clarity were found to be key drivers.
