In 2021, the leading risk to businesses in the United States was business interruption, including supply chain disruption (BI), according to a survey carried out among risk management experts. Almost half of the respondents cited BI as an important risk and 41 percent believed that businesses were at risk due to pandemic outbreak. These two risks were also the leading risks globally for 2021.
