Country Risk Ratings

Country risk refers to risk associated changes in the business environment that may adversely affect operating profits or the value of assets in a specific country.  Country risk ratings look at a country’s specific factors that could adversely affect an insurer’s ability to meet its financial obligations.  As part of evaluating country risk, rating companies identify certain factors within a country.  These evaluations include but are not limited to;

overall country risk rating, political risk outlook, and economic outlook.

Often countries are placed into tiers, ranging from a stable environment with the least amount of risk, to countries that pose the most risk and therefore, the greatest challenge to an insurer’s financial stability, strength and performance.  Country risk analysis providers use different methods to assess and rate countries’ comparative risk exposure.

A risk rating review helps you to spot global trends and identify countries whose risk profiles are changing. For more information on ways to strengthen your defense against financial risk, call 877-740-7839.
