The Country Risk indicates the possibilities that an emerging country has to fail on the fulfillment of its obligations over external debt payments, whether for capital or interests. The higher the Country Risk, the higher the possibility to get a “default”.

It is composed of three main sources:

• Sovereign Risk

• Transfer Risk

• Generic Risk

It is measured through the use of the Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) created by J.P. Morgan Chase.
