CBAM – which economies could be hit hardest?

The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) extends the EU’s carbon pricing mechanism to the rest of the world through what is essentially a ‘carbon tariff’. Many emerging markets have opposed CBAM given the potential loss of export revenues through either lower demand or export prices. We have developed a proprietary indicator designed to measure economies’ relative exposure to CBAM.
