Assess overall business environment quality in a country.
In assessing country risk, most assessments consider a country’s overall liquidity and solvency. Coface has always been distinguished for basing risk assessments on its own microeconomic experience. Coface has sought to give greater consideration to the business environment. It is indeed important to know whether a company’s accounts faithfully reflect its actual financial situation and whether the legal system can provide fair and efficient recourse in case of payment default.
The assessment is underpinned by the Coface worldwide network and expertise rooted in its experience with risk underwriting, business information, and receivables management.
The assessment is intended to assess overall business environment quality in a country. More specifically, it reflects whether corporate financial information is available and reliable, whether the legal system provides fair and efficient creditor protection, and whether a country’s institutional framework is favourable to intercompany transactions.
Like Country @ratings, the new assessments fall on a scale with seven levels in increasing order of risk where A1 represents least risk: A1, A2, A3, A4, B, C, D.
