When making the decision to export or invest overseas, the level of risk associated with the destination is an important consideration.

EFIC’s chief economist Roger Donnelly and senior economist Dougal Crawford support EFIC and our customers with country profiles - an examination of the risks of doing business in a particular market.

Roger and Dougal also publish a monthly newsletter, World Risk Developments, on developments in the world economy and emerging markets. Download the latest edition, past editions or subscribe to receive free monthly updates.

EFIC’s annual Global Readiness Index is an annual survey of Australian exporters and offshore investors providing insight into the experiences they face when going global  – the drivers, destinations and obstacles, and the sources and availability of funding. 

The results of the survey show that Australian exporters remain optimistic about their offshore expansion plans even though the credit crunch raises the finance barrier for Australian. 

Our economists frequently give presentations and write about economic and geopolitical issues. Read their speeches and papers.

The information in the country profiles is published for general information only and does not comprise advice or a recommendation of any kind. EFIC's liability is limited as indicated in each country profile.
