Key factors

What drives the score

  • Political and security events (90 days): 88.1 (2026), risk percentile 93.source
  • Import concentration (HHI): 0.61 (2025), risk percentile 90.source
  • Intelrift daily country risk: 41 (2026), risk percentile 75.source
  • Reserves in months of imports: 5.9 months (2025), risk percentile 62.source

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