Funk Political Risk Map
The Funk political risk map provides an overview of your individual political risk. Four weighting factors can be used to determine your own political risk at country level:
- Ownership control risk refers to assets abroad, whereby (production) sites involving significant direct investments are especially important.
- Transfer risk refers to currency restrictions (inconvertibility) and capital controls, which states/ administrations might use, for example, to prevent companies from transferring local profits back to home markets.
- Operational risk refers to politically motivated breaches of contract abroad, among others.
- Corruption risk is an additional indicator of political uncertainty in a country.
