Updated Country Risk Data Now Available
The measures on this site are updated through December 2020. We have partnered with NL Analytics, a startup that extends our methodology with regularly updated country risk metrics. If you need current data for ongoing research or real-time monitoring, their platform is an excellent complement to the historical measures available here.
