EIU: How to evaluate and assess cross-border credit and financial risks in both emerging and developed markets

John Bowler, Director of the Country Risk Service, guides you through how the service allows you to assess and compare cross-border credit and financial risk in 128 markets worldwide. The service ranks countries in order of riskiness and enables you to swiftly identify countries which are experiencing a deterioration or improvement in creditworthiness. The service can therefore help your organisation to optimise its country credit limits. The session runs through our approach to analysing credit and financial risk and then showcases the rating model which generates the scores. The session offers insight on questions such as:
  • How we use a blend of qualitative and quantitative indicators to calculate our country credit ratings.
  • How the service can provide you with timely updates on risks affecting your country exposures.
  • How changes in the political scene or policy will affect a country's creditworthiness.
  • How changes in the scores for particular indicators affect the overall score and rating for categories such as sovereign and banking sector risk.
