Political Risk Prospects Improving in Key Emerging Markets for Global Energy Sector
Despite an unequalled period of geo-political turmoil, many economies are now presenting increased growth opportunities for global energy companies due to decreases in political risk and improvements in their legal and regulatory environment.
The
2012 Political Risk Map released today by risk analysis and mapping company Maplecroft, in conjunction with Marsh’s Global Political Risk and Structured Credit Practice, shows growing economies with an improving climate for business investment in natural resources. These economies include Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Russia, Thailand, Turkey and Uruguay. There are also less developed, more high risk countries like DR Congo, Mongolia and Myanmar that are showing evidence of improvements in the legal and regulatory business environment and may offer exciting investment opportunities for energy companies.
Please see the attached press release for more information.
