Market expansion thanks to free trade agreements will also create new growth momentum. However, we also face challenges such as geopolitical instability, especially the crisis in the Middle East, which can affect the supply chain and transportation costs. The increasing trend of trade protectionism in the world such as EU policies, US reciprocal tax policies, etc. requires flexible policy responses.
