Here's the paradox. Global growth is solid, markets have been less volatile (notwithstanding this week's events) and investors have been cleaning up. Yet risk remains a priority for companies.

What are the big risks in a stable environment?

In this piece, I identify the top 10 as rising raw material costs, debt, China and India, increased risk appetite, compliance, cyber crime, geopolitical forces, capital markets, inflation, and US housing.

And that's not even talking about climate change, ageing, globalisation, water and energy.

Here, India may be labeled as a big risk but what is risk for the westerners is a source of joy and pride for the Indians. Because of the flourishing IT and outsourcing sector, many new jobs are being created in India.

When planning and implementing new business, we must take into account also the riks of product liabilities and environmental responsibilities, and risks related to reputation and the personnel.
