— Overview

What Country Intelligence does.

Country Intelligence holds a profile for every one of 195 countries. Each one starts with the basics: capital, population, GDP and policy rate. Macro indicators are pulled from the World Bank and the IMF World Economic Outlook rather than typed in by hand.

Each profile carries a 0–100 sovereign risk composite built from nine official dimensions (six World Bank governance indicators plus IMF debt, inflation and current account), with its coverage out of nine and a confidence level, plus a separate political-risk score and trend. These are the same scores used in Sovereign Bonds and Political Risk, so a country reads the same everywhere on the platform.

The profile is also where the platform joins up. From one country you can go to its procurement notices, award intelligence, sovereign bonds, central bank, finance ministry, line ministries, embassies and missions, and political-risk record. Capital, procurement and country risk sit in one view.

— Capabilities

What you can do with it.

The core of Country Intelligence, as it works inside the platform today.

  1. Live macro from official sources

    GDP, population and total reserves from World Bank Open Data. Government gross debt (% GDP), real growth and inflation from the IMF DataMapper.

  2. Sovereign risk composite

    A 0–100 score from nine official dimensions with a per-country breakdown, coverage and confidence, consistent across the bond tracker and political-risk views.

  3. Political-risk score and trend

    Each country carries a political-stability score with an up, down or flat trend marker.

  4. Procurement activity

    A count of the country's public notices, with a direct route into open tenders and award intelligence.

  5. Institutional map

    Links to the central bank, finance ministry, line ministries, and embassies and missions for every country.

  6. Searchable index

    Filter all 195 countries by name and sort by risk to build a shortlist of markets.

— Questions

Frequently asked.

How fresh is the macro data?

World Bank and IMF indicators are fetched from their public APIs and cached, so they update as those institutions publish. IMF figures follow the World Economic Outlook cycle.

Is the risk score a credit rating?

No. It is the platform's own composite for screening and comparison. It is not an agency rating and not investment advice.

Why do some fields show a dash?

When an official source does not publish a reliable value for a country, the profile shows a dash rather than a guess.

Does it cover sanctions?

Sanctions sit in the platform's Foreign Affairs layer. Members can screen a person or company against the OFAC, UN, EU and UK lists there. A hit is a possible match to review against the official entry, not a determination.
