Key factors

What drives the score

  • Current account balance: -38 % of GDP (2025), risk percentile 100.source
  • Intentional homicides per 100,000 people: 27.06 (2023), risk percentile 85.source
  • Fuel and food share of imports: 43.7 % (2023), risk percentile 75.source
  • External debt to GNI: 82.4 % (2024), risk percentile 68.source

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