Key factors
What drives the score
- Political and security events (90 days): 84.8 (2026), risk percentile 88.source
- Exposure to sanctioned partners: 44.4 (2023), risk percentile 83.source
- Interest payments to revenue: 17.3 % (2024), risk percentile 63.source
- Intelrift daily country risk: 34 (2026), risk percentile 62.source
Each factor comes from a sourced, dated input; the percentile says where the country sits among those covered.
