In the dynamic landscape of cross-border trade and overseas investment, robust risk management is essential. The diverse political environments, economic conditions, legal regulations, and cultural backgrounds across different countries and regions can significantly affect business operations, investments, supply chain stability, and cash flow. Dun & Bradstreet’s monthly Global Economic Outlook offers worldwide businesses valuable insights into fluctuations in country risk ratings and emerging outlook trends, providing essential insights into geopolitical and economic risks.  

Among the enterprise data covering more than 200 countries and regions worldwide compiled by Dun & Bradstreet, bankruptcy data serves not only as an effective indicator of economic performance across different markets, but also as a macro-level “benchmark” of significant reference value for companies engaged in overseas trade or investment. The Global Bankruptcy Report leverages corporate bankruptcy data from virtually all major economies around the world to help outbound enterprises gain an in-depth understanding of the financial pressures faced by companies across different markets and industries. This enables enterprises to better formulate business strategies and investment plans, transform risks into opportunities, and achieve stronger growth in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

In financial risk management, a company’s payment timeliness is not only a primary source of insight for assessing the credit risk of business partners, but also plays a critical role in financial strategy formulation and performance management. Based on the payment information collected through Dun & Bradstreet’s globally operated DUNTrade® payment data exchange program, the report consolidates payment timeliness data across industries and enterprise types in nearly 40 major markets worldwide. This helps domestic companies engaged in exporting or overseas investment to make well-informed assessments of the credit risk associated with their foreign partners, thereby effectively mitigating overseas credit risks and reducing the impact of accounts receivable on cash flow. 

To better assist businesses in understanding how to share the responsibility of data quality and data management to optimize efficiency and improve performance, Dun & Bradstreet annually interviews over 1,000 business leaders across a range of industries and compiles the findings into the "Annual B2B Data Report." This report focuses on latest B2B sales and marketing trends and strategy, the perspectives of different organizational roles on data quality, data management, and business growth.  

Regardless of the scale of your business, the industry you are in, or whether your role in the sales, marketing, compliance, procurement, or finance team, this report will provide valuable insights to help your business better manage and utilize data, thereby promoting business growth and success.
