Risk methodology

How the risk scores are built

0-100 scale

Political risk score

Political risk score = a weighted average of four indicators: 35% state fragility, 25% political stability, 25% internal and external conflict intensity, and 15% civil and political freedoms.

Sources

State fragility is taken from the Fragile States Index; political stability from the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators; conflict intensity from the Global Peace Index; and civil and political freedoms from Freedom House.

Economic risk score

Economic risk score = 30% inflation risk + 30% foreign exchange distortion risk + 20% economic growth outlook risk + 20% financial system and payments risk.

Sources

Inflation risk is based on IMF World Economic Outlook and the World Bank Myanmar Economic Monitor; foreign exchange distortion risk uses Central Bank of Myanmar exchange-rate data and the World Bank Myanmar Economic Monitor; economic growth outlook risk draws from IMF and World Bank growth projections; and financial system and payments risk is informed by the World Bank Myanmar Economic Monitor.
