Key factors
What drives the score
- Net energy import dependence: 88.4 % (2024), risk percentile 94.source
- Political and security events (90 days): 84.4 (2026), risk percentile 88.source
- Entities under US export controls: 27 (2026), risk percentile 80.source
- Total chokepoint exposure: 77.8 % of GDP (2025), risk percentile 80.source
Each factor comes from a sourced, dated input; the percentile says where the country sits among those covered.
How it is calculated
Weights, coverage and provenance
5 of 5 sub-indices available · ige-v1
Provenance hash
SHA-256 of the canonical JSON of the inputs, their sources and periods, the winsorisation bounds and the weights. Same inputs, same hash.
