    Summary

    Change log

    Every update to the map, with grade changes marked. ▲ means risk rose, ▼ means it fell.

      How we grade threat

      Every country and every issue gets one of five levels. The grade reflects how likely an issue is to disrupt people, assets or operations in the next three months, and how badly.

      What we do

      Faultline turns open-source reporting into short, plain-language risk judgments for organisations that need to decide where to go, invest or hire.

      Country risk briefs

      A one-page view of a market’s political, security and economic risks, updated as events move.

      Due diligence context

      Background on the political environment around a partner, supplier or acquisition, including corruption and sanctions exposure.

      Crisis monitoring

      Close tracking of fast-moving situations, such as the Gulf shipping crisis, with alerts when the threat level changes.
