(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Citi today released its annual Corporate Finance Priorities report, which highlights the key issues facing corporate and financial institutions.

In this report, Citi reviews the key themes corporate executives need to consider in 2019 including:

    Navigating macroeconomic uncertainty
    Re-evaluating organic and inorganic growth alternatives
    Optimizing capital deployment firepower
    Developing an action plan to address technological disruption
    Pursuing a value-accretive M&A despite greater regulatory uncertainty
    Rebalancing the corporate portfolio
    Anticipating risking buyout interests
    Preparing for trade war headwinds
    Calibrating emerging markets strategy balancing growth and risk
    Paying attention to corporate responsibility

“Fears of slowing economic growth, tighter monetary policy, and trade-related tensions all contributed to heightened equity and credit market volatility during 2018.
