The expert contributors to this publication include political and economic analysts based at universities and research institutes around the world, bringing you up-to-date, relevant and meticulously researched information on some of the most vulnerable territories to help you more effectively manage your political risk.
After 12 years of producing this Index in hardcopy format, we have taken the decision to move to an exciting online platform, which launches for the first time with this final edition of 2018. We are delighted to be able to deliver a better user experience for our readers, enabling you to read this when and where most convenient, improving the channels of communication between the reader and a member of our team, and maintain Willis Towers Watson’s position as a global thought leader in the sphere of political risk.
In that vein, I encourage you to view the information on VAPOR, our online, interactive tool that enables companies to use the extensive risk data collated in the Political Risk Index over the last decade to create a financial evaluation of their political risk exposures. Standing for Value at Political Risk, this initiative is something that has become an important tool for many of our clients and which helps us to add ever-increasing value to our service to you. You can find more information about this on the website.
We are certain that you will find this edition of the Political Risk Index as useful and valuable as ever, and hope that you will enjoy reading it in its new format.
If you would like to discuss any of the topics in this Index – or indeed, anything we have not covered – please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,
Paul L. Davidson
Chairman and CEO Financial Solutions Willis Towers Watson
