Country Risk Country risk (also known as political risk)
■ Differences in host country political, legal and economic regimes may adversely impact firm profitability.
■ Also, laws, regulations and indigenous factors e.g. property rights, intellectual-property protection, product liability, taxation policies, inflation, national debt, and unbalanced international trade, may encumber firm operations and performance.
■ Government intervention: restricts market access; imposes bureaucratic procedures hindering business transactions; and limits the amount of earned income that firms may repatriate from foreign operations.
■ Economic freedom differs among nations- Hong Kong, Singapore and Ireland are known as having the highest levels of economic freedom, see:
