County Ratings

Country ratings assess the creditworthiness and economic stability of sovereign nations. Assigned values tend to influence investor confidence, government borrowing costs, and international trade agreements.

Unique Ratings use many methodologies influenced by variants of characteristics including:

Political stability: Evaluation of the country's political landscape, including government stability, rule of law, and political risk.
Economic indicators: Analysis of economic factors such as GDP growth, inflation rates, fiscal policies, and external debt.
Institutional strength: Assessment of governance structures, regulatory frameworks, and institutional effectiveness.
External vulnerabilities: Consideration of factors like currency stability, balance of payments, and exposure to external shocks.
