What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

T Suleman & R Cermeño

…One of the world's most frequently used resources for evaluating and forecasting international risk.

“Country risk and volatility of stock returns: Panel-GARCH evidence for the Latin America's major five,” November, 2014.

Campbell R Harvey

I have used PRS’ International Country Risk Guide index on over a dozen scientific publications [and] found...a significant ability of the PRS political risk indicator to predict realized political risk events. These data also allow us to address questions of great interest to a finance audience. For example, the same paper asks the question: how much of a country’s sovereign bond yield is due to political risk?
