Key factors

What drives the score

  • Intentional homicides per 100,000 people: 31.44 (2023), risk percentile 99.source
  • Reserves in months of imports: 5.3 months (2025), risk percentile 67.source
  • Net energy import dependence: 62.5 % (2024), risk percentile 67.source
  • Annual depreciation against the dollar: +4.7 % (2025), risk percentile 61.source

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