Key factors

What drives the score

  • Logistics performance (LPI): 2.1 (2022), risk percentile 100.source
  • Government effectiveness (WGI): 10.6 (2025), risk percentile 100.source
  • Annual inflation: 28.6 % (2025), risk percentile 100.source
  • Debt service to exports: 63.2 % (2024), risk percentile 100.source

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