We help you understand how country and political risk factors affect your business.
Country & Political risk
When leading organisations expand into new markets, they turn to Wallbrook for country and political risk reporting. We base our products on our in-house qualitative methodology, which we tailor to meet the specific needs of your business.
Our team has advised all types of clients on country and political risk, including leading private wealth managers, hotel developers, pharmaceutical companies, energy firms and governments.
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISKS
Political and economic risks feed into all the other threats present in the country. Non-transparent politics fuel corruption. Economic instability feeds civil unrest. We analyse these risks, and their relevance to your sector, through expert reporting and scenarios forecasting.
Scenarios Forecasting
We conduct regular scenarios forecasting and workshops for leading investors exposed to political risk. This includes setting base case, credible alternative and outlier scenarios for a country over a five-year time frame, and assessing the impacts of the different scenarios. We then help our clients prepare mitigants.
Threat Intelligence
From assessing the threat posed by militants to your assets, to forecasting changes in renewable energy subsidy regimes, our team has deep experience helping firms prepare for threats to your business around the world.
STAKEHOLDER MAPPING
We help you learn who the key politicians, regulators and private players are in your sector, what their interests are, and how to advance your interests with them most effectively.
MARKET ANALYSIS
We specialise in providing market sizing and business case testing for high risk jurisdictions. We compliment this service with policy and regulatory forecasting.
SECURITY RISKS
Security risks are in many cases the most tangible type of risk to evaluate. From crime, to political violence, to the capabilities of first responders, we provide an overview of threats to foreign businesspeople in the country, tailored to the area where your operations are going to be concentrated.
COMPLIANCE AND REPUTATIONAL RISKS
Bribery and organised crime affect each country differently, with specific patterns. Same for money laundering, terrorism financing, counterfeiting and other perils. With our institutional knowledge built up from due diligence reporting on thousands of companies across the world, we help you understand the integrity risks of a given country. This includes a cheat sheet of local "red flags" to look for when considering potential partners.
