Global Risk Report is based on GlobalData Country Risk Index (GCRI) which is a unique country risk-rating model that determines the existing and future level of country risk by assessing various qualitative and quantitative factors. The index is formulated to help firms prepare their global business strategies on the basis of historical developments in an economy and also their future expectations.
The Country Risk Index incorporates the latest available macroeconomics, political, social, technological, environmental and legal data from a range of recognized national and international statistical sources, and incorporates proprietary data from GlobalData Economics Research. The model also features expert analytical judgment from in-house economists and takes into account their insights and opinions. By applying a robust approach to assessing risk, GlobalData analysts ensure that strategists have an effective tool to assess current trends and risks facing the economies across the globe.
The eighteenth update version of GlobalData Country Risk Index (GCRI) Q3 2022 ranks Switzerland at the top followed by Singapore and Denmark. 29 countries were identified in the very low risk zone, 27 countries in the low-risk zone, 33 countries under manageable risk, 41 countries under high risk and 23 countries in the very high-risk zone in GCRI Q3 2022.
Scope
- Europe continues to be the least-risk region in the world. However, the risk score increased to 33.4 in Q3 2022 from 32.6 in Q2 2022 as the European countries are reeling under the impact of energy shortage following the sanctions it imposed on Russia. The Middle East and Africa is considered to be the riskiest region, with a risk score of 54 in Q3 2022. The geopolitical situation remains precarious due to ongoing conflicts in the region. Increasing prices also affected underdeveloped countries and worsened the humanitarian crisis. The risk score of the Americas increased to 47.7 in Q3 2022 from 46.5 in Q2 2022 and was ranked the second-highest after the Middle East and Africa due to a vulnerability in Latin American countries such as Venezuela, as the humanitarian crisis in the country worsens.
- In Asia-Pacific, the risk score increased from 41 in Q2 2022 to 42 in Q3 2022, making it the third-riskiest region. In Q3 2022, the repercussions of China's zero-COVID policy led to a slowdown in the economy. Additionally, the displacement of Rohingyas, the spiraling economic crisis in Sri Lanka, and a devastating flood in Pakistan were the major risks for the region in Q3 2022.
