Country Risk

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Afghan and Iraq wars, and other shifting global developments have changed the old rules of businesses and organizations working in a global environment. This has created a greater need for timely and factual information on developments in many regions.

Most of this information comes from various media outlets, academic institutions, NGOs, and other organizations either based in the region or elsewhere.
However, these traditional outlets of information on regional affairs fall short of the needs of many investors, businesspeople, corporate executives, security professionals, and others with financial or other specialized interests in the region.
What they require is expertise - both in the gathering of information on regional developments and in its analysis. This is the vacuum that GlobalSource's research and information department fills.

Building on a Country Risk subsidiary founded in Nicosia in 1983, GlobalSource rapidly expanded its team of experts to accomodate the information needs of its clients in the face of the international war on terrorism after 9/11, the changing picture in the Middle East with the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the Iraq war and internal conflicts like Saudi Arabia's fight against al-Qaida.

GlobalSource prepares timely research and information reports on political, security, maritime and economic issues, which assist global managers and investors operating in the region.

Our expertise in understanding political, security, and business trends in countries in transition is unparalleled and gives us a competitive advantage in global markets. GlobalSource produces tailored risk reports designed to meet the specific information requirements of our clients. These cover political stability, security, and economics. We provide one-to-one security and background briefings for executives and organizational staff before they depart for assignments in high risk or politically unstable areas.
