HighAssessment summary
The published high-risk rating is led by Economic Fragility and Governance, based on 7 of 7 risk groups.
Risk by group
Low means available observations are below elevated-risk thresholds. Missing evidence is not treated as low risk.
Indicator evidence
Published values retain their original units and scale directions, with source links for verification.

Assessment and calculation
Group total 7 ÷ 7 available groups. Base 33.3 → published 51/100.
Published assessment rationale
High risk driven by Economic Fragility (severe — OECD country risk category 7/7 — highest risk (OECD CRC 2026)), Governance (moderate — below-average governance score (46.8/100, WB WGI 2025)), Corruption & Financial Crime (moderate — elevated corruption perception (38/100, TI CPI 2025)), Labour & Human Rights (moderate — below-average voice and accountability score (54.8/100, WB WGI 2025)), and Environmental (moderate — moderate air pollution (PM₂.₅ 16 μg/m³ annual mean, World Bank WDI / GBD 2023)).
Coverage measures available evidence, not certainty. See the exact formula and thresholds.
