امکان دارد / ممکن است که
The compound expression 'to be likely to' may be considered as an auxiliary verb, meaning 'may' or 'might' to refer to a probability for an action or something to be prone to a state. That said, a good translation for this clause could be :
نه تنها با مشکلات اقتصادی ممکن است به صورت ظاهری برخورد شود، ...

Considering Edward's note, we may add an adverb to intensify the probability, or even shift to a better expression like "احتمال قوی وجود دارد که". Thanks to Edward for adding some sense of native-speaking English to this discussion.

Please see these examples of usage for "to be likely to". This usage is much stronger than "emkan dashtan" or "momken budan" or "ehtemalan".
When we use this in English it means we are almost certain something will happen. "May" or "might" are much weaker by comparison.
