Political
risk and economic opportunities in the Middle East
The assessment
of risk holds the key to the successful outcome to an investment.
It requires a peculiarly complex matrix comprising political,
economic and social factors. These factors are in constant
flux. At stake is the difference between certainty and uncertainty
in the outcome to an investment decision. The key to anticipating
risk is well-reasoned and accurate research and analysis of
facts.
Assessment
of risk is a top-down process. First understand the wider political,
social and economic factors. Then, understand local factors
specific to the investment.
Ask questions like
1. How stable is the government,
is there a possibility of ex-appropriation?
2. How prevalent is corruption and
bribery?
3. How efficient is the economy,
how trustworthy the local management?
They
are obvious questions which are easily overlooked.
