Country and Regional Analysis
Informed decision-making by governments and international institutions often requires in-depth research and analysis on specific regions and countries of interest. We leverage our network of experts to produce such analysis aimed at assessing the political, economic, social and security landscape, and its implications for our public sector clients’ interests.
Through in-depth studies, monitoring services and conferences tailored to the particular needs and interests of our clients, we provide analysis of a wide range of regions and countries, addressing issues from political and economic risk to social and public health challenges. We also offer comparative analysis between countries.
Political and Economic Risk
We regularly carry out in-depth analysis of political and economic risks in all regions of the world for a wide range of public and private sector clients. Our risk assessments consider prospects for political, economic and social stability at the domestic and regional level, potential deterioration in investment climates and regulatory environments, as well as possible tensions with other international actors. Our work has included political and economic risk assessments in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Russia/CIS, South-East Asia and the Middle East.
Social and Public Health Issues
We frequently produce analysis of social issues and public health challenges across a number of countries and regions. Our work has included a review of social exclusion factors in South-Eastern Europe, an assessment of labour migration policies in a number of countries, and an in-depth analysis of the political, economic and social factors affecting the spread of HIV in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Economic and Financial Policy
We regularly examine economic and financial policies implemented by countries around the world. Our assessments provide clients with forward-looking analysis of macroeconomic variables, including growth, unemployment, inflation, public finances, balance of payments and exchange rates. In addition to supporting our clients with general regional and country economic outlooks, we also carry out more specific studies on a variety of financial topics, such as sovereign wealth funds.
Political Trends and Power Shifts
We frequently produce analysis of political and security trends. In addition to examining broader topics such as European integration, we provide insight into governments’ policy objectives, as well as election outlooks and prospects for power shifts.
