Key factors
What drives the score
- Logistics performance (LPI): 2.1 (2022), risk percentile 100.source
- Natural resource rents: 30 % of GDP (2021), risk percentile 100.source
- Interest payments to revenue: 25.2 % (2024), risk percentile 93.source
- Rule of law (WGI): 40.1 (2025), risk percentile 83.source
Each factor comes from a sourced, dated input; the percentile says where the country sits among those covered.
How it is calculated
