Switzerland

Turmoil in the commodities and energy markets hurt the world’s largest commodities and mining company, which saw revenue decline 23% in 2015 to $170.5 billion and a net loss of nearly $5 billion, owing to a collapse in commodities prices amid reduced demand. Over the past decade, the Swiss company has capitalized on China’s building boom, but in the past few years China’s demand for coal imports has waned while economic growth slowed. In addition to Glencore’s $5 billion loss, the commodities giants is also saddled with debt of $26 billion and is looking to cut costs and production in 2016.
