Key factors

What drives the score

  • Landlocked (transit dependence): yes (2026), risk percentile 100.source
  • Reserves in months of imports: 0.5 months (2025), risk percentile 100.source
  • Rule of law (WGI): 36.4 (2025), risk percentile 90.source
  • Control of corruption (WGI): 24.1 (2025), risk percentile 90.source

Each factor comes from a sourced, dated input; the percentile says where the country sits among those covered.
