Economic Risk Data
Assessing the global business environment
Economic stability, financial controls, external debt and growth all constitute essential levers in the ability of a country to attract investment, minimise political unrest and navigate the energy transition. Used in combination with our ESG and political risk analytics, our Economic Risk Data enables organisations to track these issues within a consistent scoring framework as part of a holistic approach to monitoring the global risk landscape.
From trade barriers and labour costs, to financial crime and external debt, our Economic Risk Data offers an accessible and accurate view of the key macroeconomic and business environment issues that can influence the success of an organisation in a country and ensure the political stability needed to offer certainty in investment decisions and the operational environment.
