Introduction

This report is a robust system for rating jurisdictions across multiple metrics covering Legal, Governance, Social, Fiscal and Infrastructure risks.

The World Risk Report 2019 includes:

Executive Summary:
A review of the global results and trends from the IRI, including the headlining jurisdiction ratings hierarchy and reference table, which covers the past three years of data. It also incorporates the Opportunity and Permitting indices.

Investment Risk Index (IRI):
We break down the IRI into the core areas of risk – Legal, Governance, Social, Fiscal and Infrastructure – chapter by chapter, to pick out regional trends and the individual jurisdictions that have recorded the greatest gains and the biggest YoY disappointments for each risk category.

General Risk:
Separated into Business Risk and Operating Risk, this section is centred on in-depth discussion and visual representation of Risk Level and Ease of Management, without considering geography. Business Risks include Regulation and Commodity substitution, while Geo-technical risks and Social license are examples of Operating Risks. Results include YoY comparisons to track the industry mood around headlining risks.
