Global Risk Report Overview
The GlobalData Country Risk Index (GCRI) in Q2 2023 reveals a risk score of 44.2 out of 100 indicating a minor decline in the Q1 2023 risk score. This reduction reflects a two-quarter trend, driven by favorable factors such as robust consumer spending in the services sector, gradually easing inflationary pressure, and decreased vulnerabilities in the banking sector. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including China’s sluggish economic recovery, ongoing core inflation, higher interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainties.
However, the economic risk score increased to 45.4 in Q2 2023, as the global economy is battling multiple challenges.

Global Risk Report - Regional Analysis
The key regions are Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East and Africa.
Asia-Pacific: In Asia-Pacific, the risk score declined in Q2 2023 when compared to the previous quarter, ranking the region with the second-lowest risk score globally. Emerging and developing economies in Asia-Pacific have experienced strong growth recently, aided by factors such as increased domestic activity, rising investments, and a resurgence in tourism.
Americas: The Americas region also experienced a minor decline in its risk score during Q2 2023. This shift was primarily driven by reduced inflationary pressures and an improving labor market in the US. Despite this decrease, the Americas maintained its second-highest global risk ranking, with only the Middle East and Africa ranking higher. This ranking was largely influenced by vulnerabilities observed in Latin American countries, the elevated cost of financing, and rising debt in the US.
Europe: Europe continues to be the least-risk region in the world. The decrease in the risk score is supported by low unemployment and a rise in tourism but is challenged by high-interest rates and varying inflation rates.
Middle East and Africa: It retained its status as the highest-risk region in Q2 2023. Oil production cuts constrain economic growth in major oil-producing countries. Geopolitical instability stemming from ongoing conflicts contributes to the region’s risk profile. Additionally, heatwaves in the Middle East and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Africa add to the challenges faced in this region.
