Country and sector assessment is one of Coface’s key areas of expertise and enables international trade players to further secure their transactions. Coface provides country assessment for 155 countries, assessing the average level of risk associated with a country’s companies in connection with their short term commercial transactions and closely measures how the related financial commitments are influenced by the country’s economic, financial and political outlook.
A spectrum of indicators are monitored, incorporating political factors; risk of currency shortage and devaluation; ability to meet financial commitments abroad; risk of a systemic crisis in the banking sector; cyclical risk; and payment behavior for short term transactions.
