A unique and comprehensive guide to help companies manage the risks of doing business abroad Country risk explains the things that can go wrong when business is conducted across borders. It's not just multinational companies, with factories worldwide and complex operations, that need to understand sudden changes in business conditions. These can affect any small firm that may be looking to expand sales abroad or work with a foreign supplier. The 2008-09 global financial crisis and the Arab Spring showed us how quickly, and dramatically, business conditions in any country can worsen and spread. But a thorough understanding and careful management of country risk will help a company survive a crisis, and even open up new opportunities.

This Guide to Country Risk explains:
- What risks foreign investors face, and how to measure and manage them in a systematic way.
- Why political and economic shocks are so hard to predict.
- Where economies are vulnerable and how existing risk models spot (or miss) signs of impending disaster.
- The typical bad habits of managers who ignore the warning signs
- How and where the next crisis will emerge.

Probably the best "The Economist" book I have read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2015

Verified Purchase

I am a student studying economics and I also invest in the stock market, I bought this book in the hope it would help me invest in foreign shares and also identify red flags in investing abroad. I can tell you now that whomever wrote this book is very well informed and has many great facts on risk and case studies of previous crisis. I have purchased several books from "The Economist" and this tops the lot. There is many gems of information that is included here and I very much enjoyed reading.

Fine, sensible approach to country risk.

Reviewed in the United States on 13 July 2017

Verified Purchase

The author is sensitive to political risks and uncertainties, and also to historical developments. This is most welcome, since more mainstream approaches are usually confined to what some claim to be 'strictly economic' variables. Stíll, her treatment of political and 'geopolitical' risk is too quick. That's why I gave it 4, not 5 stars.
