Key factors
What drives the score
- Current account balance: -55.3 % of GDP (2025), risk percentile 100.source
- Export concentration (HHI): 0.86 (2025), risk percentile 98.source
- Control of corruption (WGI): 40.3 (2025), risk percentile 66.source
- Rule of law (WGI): 55.1 (2025), risk percentile 56.source
Each factor comes from a sourced, dated input; the percentile says where the country sits among those covered.
How it is calculated

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.
