Our story
The CountryRisk.io story began in December 2015. Driven by a desire to simplify country risk assessments and establish a groundbreaking, crowdsourced ratings and intelligence platform, founders Jenny and Bernhard decided to turn their passion project into a pioneering business.

Our values

Transparency
When it comes to the methodologies behind its models and processes, CountryRisk.io is an open book. It allows you to see exactly how you arrived at your final rating. There is no committee who would, or could, potentially override your results. 

Structured framework
We believe that a structured framework combining quantitative and qualitative factors is the best way to analyse sovereign and country risk. Qualitative factors add insights from practical experience, which can capture risk factors that quantitative data or statistical models cannot.

Constructive exchange
One perspective is interesting. But multiple perspectives are what tend to reveal the truth. That’s why we believe that a constructive exchange of multiple informed perspectives makes for superior country risk analyses.

Independence
CountryRisk.io is independent of any rating issuer or commercial credit rating agency. This means we are free of any conflict of interest from issuers or any institutions, and this preserves the integrity of our models and rating processes.
