Labor laws can also have a big impact on Walmart. Environmental problems like natural disasters can damage stores, slow down the supply chain and reduce sales because of closures. Currency (money), Walmart operates in over 20 countries, so its profitability is affected by fluctuating exchange rates. The U.S. dollar mare imports cheaper and exports more expensive. Global economics, more jobs that increase the economy therefore people will spend more resulting in more sales for Walmart. Competitors like Amazon and Costco can also impact Walmart.
