Political and country risk assessment becomes particularly meaningful when it is quantified over time and between jurisdictions, and when it is applied to the behavior and protection of assets.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Rob Kotecki

Thanks so much for your help. I can't tell you how insightful the responses were and how often The PRS Group’s analyses were affirmed by other sources.
Reporter, Private Funds Management

William B Eimicke

For many years, as a senior official at the city, state and federal levels, as an advisor to governments around the world and as a professor, I find PRS the best source of political risk assessment information for those of us without the highest levels of security clearance. PRS uses quantitative and qualitative tools and is constantly updating their information and analysis.
Founding Director of University of Colombia’s Picker Center for Executive Education, Professor of Professional Practice in International and Public Affairs

Dr Robert A Lawson

It's always a pleasure to work with PRS Group and its data. I deal with a lot of international data from a variety sources and customer service is often lacking. The PRS website works well and if you have a question or problem the staff are quick and cheerful about helping.

NEW RELEASE

BREXIT, TRUMP, COVID-19…WHAT’S NEXT FOR POLITICAL RISK?

There’s never been a more volatile and uncertain time in recent history. As the recent pandemic has reminded us, the interconnected nature of the global economy has made political risk analysis more important – and vastly more complex.  Quant-driven methods have become increasingly de riguer, but what does the future hold for the practice in the face of new and emerging challenges?

In Quid Periculum? Measuring & Managing Political Risk in the Age of Uncertainty, long-time political risk experts Christopher McKee and Peter Marber present approaches and analyses to this new world of risk. From risk forecasting techniques and reliability measures, to empirical findings affecting asset prices and sovereign debt workouts, the role of political risk in the 2020s and beyond is thoroughly explored by the world’s leading specialists. The book also includes an exceptional roundtable discussion among some of the leading names in the field, offering a insiders’ view of issues such as the impact of COVID-19, the future of globalization, new political risks, and risk mitigation techniques.

A unique blend of scholarly and applied efforts, this is the 6th edition of PRS’ series The Handbook of Country Political Risk Analysis.  For more information and to reserve your copy today, contact Louis Carroll at lcarroll@prsgroup.com
