About Us
Country Risk is complex, but not difficult to assess
We believe that Country Risk Analysis is a never ending subject for research. Refining its assessment, methodology is dependent on history, culture, diverse ideas and theories. Sometimes these theories, and preconceptions are hidden, and we should not really reject it, but take it into account in our final assessment. Complexity, diversity and uncertainty are at the very heart of country risk analysis. One way to be living with it, as it is inevitable, is to accept limits in the methodology. In models they are called model assumptions, and these are sometimes overlooked.
The second reason for creating a sharing website on country risk, is to admit that with well structured methodology with clearly defined limits of both the objectives and methods of country risk, the assessment can be very interesting. In a world where ESG factors are to be integrated in all risk assessment, including country risk, creating new indicators is vital in order to guide investors, but also regulators, creditors, policy makers.
