About the tracker
Over the past few years, there has been a rapid escalation in the number of economic security related policies and actions across the world. Governments are seeking to de-risk in areas of economic vulnerability and build competitive advantage in key sectors and technologies through tools such as export controls, tariffs, investment screening, industrial policy, supply chain diversification, domestic research and development support, and the pursuit of increased self-sufficiency.
The United States Studies Centre created the 2025 Economic Security Tracker to record economic security related actions and policies implemented by Australia, the United States, China, the European Union, Canada, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
This tracker, originally published on May 12, 2025, will be updated regularly to document economic security developments. Sources are located at the bottom of the web page.
