Four in Five Business Leaders Expect Permanent Disruption as AI, Tariffs and Critical Minerals Competition Reshape Global Commerce, Finds DMCC Future of Trade Report

Four in Five Business Leaders Expect Permanent Disruption as AI, Tariffs and Critical Minerals Competition Reshape Global Commerce, Finds DMCC Future of Trade Report https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=73273 Global trade is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, tariff volatility, supply chain redesign and competition over critical minerals and clean-energy infrastructure. The report says trade remains resilient but is moving into a more fragmented environment in which AI-related goods are driving a disproportionate share of trade growth, while a growing share of merchandise imports is subject to tariffs or similar restrictions. Business expectations are largely for slow growth, continued disruption and geopolitical uncertainty, with only a small minority expecting a best-case scenario. The report identifies four structural forces driving this shift: AI moving from experimentation to operational deployment; the breakdown of a stable tariff framework; supply chains increasingly organised for resilience rather than pure efficiency; and the energy transition becoming a contest for industrial and geopolitical advantage. en-us Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:46:03 +0530 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:46:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator Four in Five Business Leaders Expect Permanent Disruption as AI, Tariffs and Critical Minerals Competition Reshape Global Commerce, Finds DMCC Future of Trade Report https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=73273 Global trade is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, tariff volatility, supply chain redesign and competition over critical minerals and clean-energy infrastructure.
