2022 FINDINGS
The World Risk Survey is an essential element in the assessment of risk in the World Risk Report's Investment Risk Index (IRI) - which rates overall risk within jurisdictions - with survey results making up 20% of each jurisdiction's IRI score.
The other 80% is measured using MJI's unique set of 10 external Hard Risk metrics covering the five categories assessed.
The current World Risk Report provided IRI scores for 109 jurisdictions.
The report revealed that the lowest risk jurisdictions globally were all Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan), with scores of 82, 82, and 80, respectively. Scores of 80 or above represent the highest AAA rating.
By contrast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, and Thailand, were the worst-rated jurisdictions, with IRI scores below 40, equivalent to a D rating, where investment is difficult to justify.
GLOBAL TRENDS
The 2022 report showed a stable picture of world mining risk, with a global average IRI score of 60, unchanged from the previous year.
But the figure is down from a high of 62 in 2018. The World Risk Report was first launched in 2017.
The 2022 report showed Canada and the US as the lowest-risk regions for mining investment, followed by Central America and the Caribbean (including Mexico), and Australia.
The highest-risk regions were Africa and Asia.
