In our recent Political Risk Index: Spring/Summer 2023, we examine how today’s cost-of-living crisis fuels political turmoil. In addition, as all our Political Risk Index editions do, we provide analysis on 61 countries with respect to their risk levels for expropriation, currency inconvertibility, political violence, terrorism, and sovereign default.
We encourage clients with exposures abroad to proactively consider political risk-transfer options for their country(ies) of interest before it becomes front page news to guarantee non-cancellable, multi-year cover.
