The seventh edition of The Handbook of Country Risk 2005-2006 provides timely analysis of the risks involved in trading with, or investing in 151 countries. Each country is given a unique risk rating, including a description of the countryÆs strengths and weaknesses, information on conditions for market access, foreign exchange regulations and attitudes to foreign investors, and the main economic indicators, such as import-export data, private/public consumption breakdown, standard of living, and purchasing power statistics. In addition to the individual country profiles and risk analyses, the book also provides an outlook for 2005-2006 and incisive sectoral and regional overviews.
