Horizons & uncertainty
Central line = today's level. On 4,428 country-years, assuming no change proved about twice as accurate as extrapolating a trend, so we don't invent one. The band is the calibrated 80% range of historical outcomes; * = horizon not covered by the backtest. How we tested this →
What this means for entering
no blocking issues in the covered areasContract enforcement
Courts are uneven: timing and outcome are hard to predict. Build in an arbitration clause and payment security.
Why, and what to do about it →
Rule of law 0.15 on the WGI scale (−2.5 to +2.5), weak-courts threshold −0.8; worse than 45% of countries. Courts function, but timing and outcomes are volatile.
- An arbitration clause in every contract
- Payment security for large amounts: bank guarantee or letter of credit
- Staged payments instead of long credit terms
Deal economics: Not prohibitive, but long receivables need a provision for late payment.
Regulation & licensing
Predictable regulation: licensing timelines can go into the plan as stated.
Why, and what to do about it →
Regulatory quality 0.65 on the WGI scale (−2.5 to +2.5), zone above +0.2; better than 75% of countries. Stated procedure timelines usually match reality.
- Licensing timelines can go into the plan as stated
- Standard legal support, no dedicated regulatory counsel needed
Deal economics: Regulatory risk needs no separate budget line.
Corruption exposure
Low corruption exposure: standard compliance policies suffice.
Why, and what to do about it →
Control of corruption 0.38 on the WGI scale (−2.5 to +2.5), zone above +0.2; better than 65% of countries. Hidden transaction costs are not typical.
- Standard compliance policies suffice
- Ordinary counterparty KYC, no enhanced regime
Deal economics: No hidden transaction costs in the normal case.
Physical security
No significant armed violence recorded, so standard travel policies apply.
Why, and what to do about it →
Conflict intensity 0 of 100 on the UCDP log scale: no significant armed events recorded in the period. This counts confirmed casualties, not news tone.
- Standard travel policies apply, no premiums needed
Deal economics: Physical security adds no cost of entry.
Pricing & currency
Inflation 3.9%: pricing can be planned on a normal annual cycle.
Why, and what to do about it →
Inflation 3.9% a year (World Bank, CPI): within a normal planning cycle.
- Annual pricing works as is
Deal economics: Currency and price risk is budget-normal.
Operational continuity
Medium disaster exposure: check seasonal hazards and logistics headroom.
Why, and what to do about it →
INFORM Risk 3.5 of 10 (medium band 3.5 to 6.5, EU JRC): hazard exposure 3.7, coping capacity 2.6 (higher is worse).
- Check seasonal hazards for your regions
- Logistics headroom for the peak season
Deal economics: Targeted property and cargo insurance usually covers the risk without heavy infrastructure.
