Key factors

What drives the score

  • Political and security events (90 days): 90.8 (2026), risk percentile 97.source
  • Exposure to the main chokepoint: 42.5 % of GDP (2025), risk percentile 89.source
  • External debt to GNI: 90.1 % (2024), risk percentile 75.source
  • Logistics performance (LPI): 2.7 (2018), risk percentile 69.source

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