Economics.
In economics, headwinds are adverse conditions in the general economy, or in a specific market sector.
- Economic headwinds slow M&A
- "In [Mergermarket's] assessment, following a peak in the M&A cycle during the first half of last year, increased market volatility, geopolitical tensions between the US and China, Brexit anxiety in Europe and tougher economic headwinds have precipitated a slowdown."
