Navigating tariffs : Maintaining mid-market resilience amid ongoing uncertainty. At the close of 2024, mid-market businesses were riding a steady wave of optimism.

However, as we entered 2025 trade tensions escalated, with optimism experiencing its first notable dip in two years (down 2.9pp to 72.7%).
