Maplecroft has also created a GRI bundle for the 12 oil producing 
countries of OPEC.

The GRI provides comparable risk analysis for each country across 
seven aggregate clusters. These include: macroeconomic risk; 
security risk; governance risk; resource security; climate change; 
pandemics and infectious diseases and societal resilience. 

Maplecroft designed the Global Risks Index to enable organisations to: 

Identify specific areas of high risk across supply chains and 

• 

operations  
Manage and mitigate risk effectively

• 

Improve business performance 

• 

Enhance strategic investment and corporate social responsibility 

• 

planning

The GRI is presented on-line, in country by country scorecards 
and maps. Each country scorecard provides a summary of key 
demographic, economic and political information, a global and 
regional map, as well as scores for each of the 26 indices and the 
seven aggregate clusters.

More substantive country details are available through Maplecroft’s 
country briefings 8+pp or reports 25+pp.
