In Conversation with WELT: Political Risk in the Spotlight of International News on TV

Political risk and international conflict are becoming increasingly prominent across the globe. On December 18, 2025, our Chief Data Scientist for Political Risk, Dr. Nicolas Schwank, shared his assessment of these developments in the morning news program on WELT. The central focus of the broadcast was the EU summit in Brussels, which provided the backdrop for Dr. Schwank’s analysis of current geopolitical tensions and key political decisions shaping the international landscape.

In the interview, Dr. Schwank explained why the political and international order is being fundamentally reshaped and what this means for governments, businesses, and investors alike. His commentary highlights how geopolitical rivalries, shifting power structures, and growing political instability are increasingly interconnected.

The recorded segment offers a concise yet in-depth assessment of the global risk environment. Dr. Schwank demonstrates why data-driven political risk analysis is more important than ever for understanding global developments and navigating uncertainty in a rapidly changing world.
