Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine war have created a heightened state of economic uncertainty, leading to an unprecedented increase in market volatility. These disruptions, manifested in acute stock market falls, have had a noticeable impact on investor confidence, triggering a pronounced prevalence of panic selling. The impact of these crises on profitability was heterogeneous and varied across industries and markets. COVID-19 and geopolitical conflicts introduced a spectrum of political and regulatory risks that required careful integration into the fabric of corporate risk management frameworks. In the face of such uncertainties, companies have embarked on a strategic reassessment of their supply chain paradigms, with a deliberate focus on reducing reliance on single suppliers and encouraging the adoption of agile and responsive models.
The era of economic turbulence has witnessed a paradigmatic shift in corporate priorities, with companies strategically prioritising resilience within their operational frameworks, supply chains and financial structures. The exigencies of these crises have led to a heightened awareness within the corporate echelons of the need for robust scenario planning as an essential mechanism for addressing and managing unforeseen disruptions. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts such as the Russia–Ukraine war underscore the importance of organisational agility, resilience, and proactive risk management in the face of unforeseen challenges, as well as highlight the urgent need for comprehensive and interdisciplinary research to understand, respond to and mitigate the multiple impacts on financial stability, risk management and corporate sustainability. Thus, businesses and financial systems must constantly recalibrate their strategic approaches to navigate the intricacies of an evolving and complex global environment.
This Special Issue aims to explore innovative approaches, share empirical findings and incorporate valuable perspectives to enhance our understanding of how companies, financial institutions and communities manage and strengthen financial stability in times of unprecedented challenges, including, but not limited to, pandemics and conflicts.
