Global capital is moving faster and more unpredictably than ever.<\/p>\n
In February 2026, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East triggered one of the sharpest weekly declines in emerging market assets since the COVID-19 period, as investors rapidly reassessed global risk exposures.<\/p>\n
Soon after, in early March 2026, the Indian Rupee briefly touched a record low of \u20b992.30 per dollar, reflecting foreign investor outflows and heightened global risk aversion.<\/p>\n
Trade policy has also been reshaping capital flows. During 2025, tariff escalations under US President Donald Trump pushed the average US tariff rate to nearly 17%, up from less than 3% earlier, increasing uncertainty around global trade and cross-border investment decisions.<\/p>\n

As LEI mandates expand across banking, capital markets, insurance, and cross-border trade, businesses are increasingly required to obtain and maintain an active LEI.<\/p>\n
