Question 1

A multinational corporation is planning a project to expand into a new country. The project manager performs a PESTLE analysis and identifies that the target country has recently increased tariffs on imported technology hardware.

Which PESTLE factor does this represent?

Accepted Answer

Tariffs = Money/Cost = Economic. (Note: Political is also a strong contender, but usually Tariffs are categorized under Economic in PMP exams unless 'Trade War' is specified). If Political was an option and Economic wasn't, choose Political. If both, Economic is often preferred for 'Tariffs/Taxes'.
