ECGC conducts a comprehensive review of the countries covered by them, based on an internal country risk methodology that has been put in place. This methodology aims at evaluating the country not only on the prevalent economic and political settings, but also on the correct developments that would have an impact on the future, with an increase in horizon of 12 months, as well as forecast based on the strength and weakness of the country in terms of its economic and political strength.
