A world that once moved goods, capital, and ambition across open borders is now pulling inward, and the price of that withdrawal is no longer theoretical. The World Economic Forum places the current annual cost of geoeconomic fragmentation at up to $307 billion — not a warning of what might come, but a measure of what is already lost.

Households face higher consumer prices due to tariffs and trade barriers, increased cost of living, reduced purchasing power, and potential job market uncertainty as companies face higher operational costs and investment restrictions.
Governments may pursue trade negotiations to reduce fragmentation, reconsider tariff policies, establish new bilateral/multilateral trade agreements, implement industrial policy to build domestic resilience, and coordinate with allies to prevent further escalation of economic barriers.
