As every year comes to a close we like to take a moment to look back at the key trade issues people were talking about – and therefore, reading about. It was another year of changes and uncertainty, which is likely why two of our most-read articles were about risk.

But it was also a year for plodding ahead and looking to a brighter future. People were reading about business planning, investment and negotiations in a changed global business environment.

What was also heartening to see was the interest in articles about investing in your personal and career growth. Two of our most-read articles were about career success and upskilling.

So without further preamble – here are the top 10 most-read articles of 2022. Read on, enjoy, and let us know what you think most people will be reading about in the year ahead in the comments.
