Definition
The country risk score incorporates four factors: economic growth prospects and currency stability, institutions and governance, public finances, and external debt sustainability, each weighted at 25%. A score of 0-20 indicates a very low risk of the government defaulting on its external debt obligations. [The lower the score, the lower the risk. Specifically: 20-35, low risk, suggesting a low risk of the government defaulting on its external debt obligations; 35-47.5, moderate risk, suggesting some risk that the government will not fulfill its external debt obligations; 47.5-62.5, high risk, suggesting a high risk that the government will default on its foreign currency debt in the near future; 62.5-100, very high risk, suggesting a very high risk that the country's government will default on its foreign currency debt in the near future.] It is important to note that there is no completely objective method to determine the thresholds for each risk category. In general, these are subjective decisions and should be aligned with the organization's risk appetite. Classifying too many countries as “extremely high risk” will severely restrict business activities, while classifying too many countries as “extremely low risk” will result in unreserved risks in a company’s portfolio.
