Risks Embedded in Structures and Sectors
Structural Risks are rooted in the Level of Economic Development and Quality of Governance of each country. These are medium-to-long term characteristics. They are central to Country Risk affecting a country's capacity to grow, meet the needs of its population, adopt constructive economic policies, and service its external obligations.
Sectoral Risks are ones that arise in key areas of an economy, particularly Banking, Public Finance, and External Finance. Historically, these areas are most vulnerable to sudden shocks or major disruptions. Polices in these sectors affect overall growth, sector performance, and a country's ability to leverage its natural endowments. Sector risk scores send out "early warnings signals" of a country's increasing risk. Data for each indicator are drawn from IMF and official sources between October-December 2016. The Tab "How Country Risk is Measured" explains the concepts behind and construction of these risk scores.
