This PPT slide, part of the 39-slide Market Entry Assessment Guide PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of country risk, emphasizing its significance in assessing potential threats to firm profitability and survival. It categorizes risks into 4 main types: economic, political, and sub-sovereign risks, along with a focus on corruption. Economic risks include factors like currency crises, inflation, and unemployment, which can destabilize a country's financial environment. Political risks encompass events such as coups and nationalization of assets, which can directly impact business operations and investments.

Sub-sovereign risks are more localized, affecting specific firms or industries within a country, highlighting the nuanced nature of risks that may not be immediately apparent at a national level. The accompanying scatter plot visually represents the relationship between country corruption and political stability, plotting various countries based on their corruption scores and levels of internal conflict. This visual tool serves as a quick reference for understanding how corruption correlates with broader political risks.

The slide underscores the importance of considering these risks when evaluating market entry or investment opportunities. It suggests that a thorough analysis of both economic and political environments is crucial for informed decision-making. Understanding these dynamics can help firms navigate potential pitfalls and strategically position themselves in various markets. The insights provided here are essential for executives looking to mitigate risks associated with international operations and investments.
