As cross-border tensions escalate in Southeast Asia, it’s important for international organizations to monitor potential second-order effects, even in areas not directly involved in the clashes.
This week, Lares Risk Management International has identified 5 key regional risk factors that could impact operations, mobility, workforce management, and business confidence across the region.
DIRECT THREAT TO BUSINESS HUBS
Risk Status: Low
Major cities remain operational with no immediate threat. However, tensions along certain borders may escalate quickly. Early and frequent monitoring is key.
REGIONAL TRAVEL LOGISTICS
Risk Status: Moderate
Expect increased security at airports and government facilities. Delays เท cross-border movement and last-minute travel disruptions are possible.
INVESTOR & MARKET SENTIMENT
Risk Status: Cautious
Geopolitical tensions can disrupt tourism, business travel, and market confidence. Watch for cancellations, guest targeting, and supply chain delays. Vet hotels and brief transport teams to stay ahead of potential risks.
WORKFORCE DISRUPTIONS
Risk Status: Moderate
Cross-border labour mobility may be restricted in affected areas, impacting industries like construction, hospitality, and supply chain support.
INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT
Risk Status: Elevated
Misinformation, online panic, or targeted disinformation campaigns may rise. Internal clarity and verified updates are essential to prevent confusion.
