Political and country risks have made for headline news in recent years, from Ukrainian political protests and sanctions on Russia to the catastrophic events occurring in the Middle East. This new edition focuses in particular on the new context within which these risks occur. Since the publication of the first edition, country risk events now take place in the advanced economies as well as emerging markets; equally significant is the fact that the regulatory scrutiny of country risk management practices has spread from banking to include insurance and, to a lesser extent, asset management. This comprehensive updating of the first edition of Country and Political Risk provides practitioners in the banking, insurance, and asset management sectors with a review of current country risk management best practices and an overview of the issues that affect global investment. It contains practical insights into how to assess these risks and advises the reader about how to manage a country risk portfolio. Country and Political Risk provides a vital tool for portfolio and direct investors. Effective management of country risk is a regulatory requirement for banks and increasingly for insurers and asset managers as well. Readers will improve their own skills in country risk assessment and analysis; increase their understanding of best practice in country risk assessment and management in use in the banking sector today; and would be privy to the expertise of industry consultants and experts.
