Abstract
In recent years, country risk analysis has become an important subject of study in the research and risk management departments of banks, rating agencies, insurance companies and financial system regulators. The concept of country risk emerged in the 1950s in the context of the resurgence of international banking activity and gained notoriety from the early 1980s with the outbreak of the Latin American debt crisis.
