# Tariffs over-emphasised, says BCG CEO at ET forum 2026-08-21T21:31:32+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet BCG CEO Christoph Schweizer said trade and tariffs are "over-emphasised" and that business leaders now face bigger challenges from geopolitical uncertainty and rapid technological change. Speaking at the ET World Leaders Forum in New Delhi on Friday, he noted that the current generation of CEOs no longer believes the world will return to stability. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Schweizer's remarks come as global CEOs grapple with trade fragmentation, AI disruption, and shorter planning cycles, now down to two to four years. The comment that tariffs are over-emphasised is notable because it pushes back against a narrative focused on US-China trade wars. What matters next is how Indian corporates, heavily reliant on exports and imports, adapt their supply chains and investment strategies without stable geopolitical assumptions. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Direct reporting of CEO remarks without added commentary or framing This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
