The survey evaluates individual country risk by assigning a weighting to six categories that cover Political Risks, Economic Performance, access to Bank Finance & Capital Markets, Debt Indicators, Credit Ratings, and Structural Assessment.
Euromoney modified its survey weightings last year to increase the influence of the political risk and economic performance categories in calculating the final scores and rankings. As such, it raised the weight of each of the two categories from 25 percent to 30 percent. It also removed two categories and added a new one in the current survey. The new structural assessment category carries a weight of 10 percent and covers labor market and industrial relations, demographics, as well as soft and hard infrastructure.
Globally, Algeria ranked ahead of Botswana, Tanzania and Uganda, and came behind Mozambique, Angola and Bangladesh.
