Country risk analysis
With Coface’s expertise in country evaluations, 158 country assessments are available using a spectrum of indicators incorporating geopolitical or governance risks, economic vulnerability, the risk of foreign currency liquidity crisis, the severity of external indebtedness and the financial vulnerability of the banking system.

The assessments of the countries are regularly monitored and they provide an estimate of the average credit risk based on the country’s business and socio-political environment. This information is a valuable tool, indicating a country’s potential influence on businesses’ financial commitments.

The countries are graded on a seven level ranking scale, in the ascending order of risk they are A1, A2, A3, A4, B, C and D. Of course there are other factors that affect the evaluation of the strength of specific business and there may be exceptions to the general business climate of a country, however these assessments give a fair idea of the country’s climate for doing business.

 

Evaluation of the business environment
Assessing the business climate of a country depends on the quality of a country’s private sector governance –The disclosure of financial information and the effectiveness of the legal framework in settling debts play a major role in this. 

 

At Coface we do this on the basis of:

  • Expertise on the market – the advantage of our worldwide presence.
  • Various assessments done by renowned international organizations

Coface’s assessment is not limited to, evaluating the liquidity and solvency of the country, but also takes into account, the microeconomic factors of the country.
