Odaily Note: The World Uncertainty Index (WUI) is a forward-looking pressure indicator that primarily reflects the sense of uncertainty among economic agents (businesses, households, investors) regarding the future economic, political, and policy environment. It helps analyze how uncertainty impacts economic growth, investment decisions, and financial markets. The global WUI has reached historical highs multiple times over the past decade, particularly under the influence of overlapping multiple crises.
