Consultations & Special Projects
Evaluating an organization’s major international business opportunities and risks may require specialized research and analysis, or perhaps just an opportunity to talk with a political or country risk expert. Customized projects range from fact sheets of data for countries we do not usually monitor, to a major study printed and bound, converted to PDF format, or produced in other ways that meet a client’s specifications. Here are a few examples of customized projects:
- Transfer risk prospects for selected countries
- Measurement of foreign direct investment climate for a range of countries
- Country risk ratings applicable to a unique industry
- Special study of Lebanon, or other country of current interest
- Outlook for political stability in Egypt
Because of the specialized nature of consultations and special report projects, they cannot be ordered online. To request more information on pricing, content, and timing, please send an e-mail with a description of your proposed consultation or project needs to info@prsgroup.com or call The PRS Group at +1 (315) 431-0511.
