Global Risks 2021: Fractured Future

“The Global Risks Report 2021 report reflects the depth and disparity of the
pandemic’s impact. The report also explores how critical global challenges have
been exacerbated and reshaped, and highlights the need to address these risks
more collaboratively.”

Carolina Klint, Managing Director, Risk Management Leader Continental
Europe, Marsh

The results of the Global Risks Report 2021 prepared with the cooperation of
the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD), Marsh Turkey, and
Zurich Sigorta were announced in an online meeting.

Barış Oran, a member of the Board of Directors of TÜSİAD, gave a speech
in the meeting and stated that digital transformation has affected many areas
such as business, communication, shopping, education, and said that they give
a lot of importance to managing this process effectively and to the steps to be
taken in this area.

Oran stated that this transformation brings new risks as well as advantages
and mentioned the inequalities in accessing digitalization and technology.

Oran said that “Just like we see in the unequal distribution of vaccination,
it brings about some common costs. It is a significant risk that increased
inequality in this area increases the social fragility and weakens the inclusive
recovery possibility. These risks which may be caused by inequalities, mainly
education, should be managed in a correct way for the public welfare.”

Oran stated that the report highlights the risks arising out of Covid-19 and
underlined the negative effects of the pandemics on the achievements obtained
in the last 10 years.
