In many countries, the economic / financial environment is heavily influenced by the political environment in the context of government rules and regulations as to how businesses make money, as well as how businesses are taxed.
The Economic / Financial environment includes considerations such as the:
GDP Gross Domestic Product
the financial health of a region
are companies making profits able to hire a lot of workers, so employees have money and they can spend this money on consumer items
currency exchange rate
can the currency of the country be used to purchase required imports
currency convertability (relates to “economic sovereignty”)
rate of inflation / deflation
rate of minimum wage
ability of the government to finance infrastructure
