Business as unusual: Exporters adapt to geopolitical shocks

We just published the fifth edition of our Allianz Trade Global Survey, where we asked 6,000 companies in 13 countries, including the US, France, Germany, China, India and Vietnam, about their outlook for the year ahead.

Allianz Social Resilience Index 2025: The middle-resilience trap

The Allianz Social Resilience Index 2025 records a third consecutive – albeit modest – improvement across 171 economies. The global average score rose from 47.4 out of 100 in 2024 to 47.9, driven by lower imported inflation pressures and greater currency stability in Emerging Asia and several advanced economies, as well as firmer governance. But the conflict in the Middle East and the resulting energy inflation will test the strength of social fabrics, particularly in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Morocco, Tunisia and Malaysia.

Closing the gender income gap: from paychecks to pensions

The projected lifetime income gap for women born in 2025 is 16% — the same as it was for women born in 2000. After decades of progress, we’ve hit a plateau. And that's a wake-up call. Even though we’ve made strides in narrowing the gender pay gap and increasing women’s participation in the workforce, there structural barriers that just won’t budge. For International Women's Day 2026, we look at how to close the gender income gap, from paychecks to pensions, with AI Assistants Aria and Arlo.
