The term “リスク” (pronounced “risuku”) is the Japanese word for “risk.” It refers to the possibility of suffering harm, loss, or negative consequences as a result of an action, decision, or event. In various contexts, such as finance, business, health, and safety, risk denotes the uncertainty regarding outcomes, where the exposure to danger or potential adverse effects must be assessed and managed. Risk can be quantified in terms of probability and impact, allowing individuals and organizations to make informed choices. The goal of risk management is to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential risks to minimize harm and maximize opportunities.
