Course Overview

Over the last decades an enormously high number of countries stopped the repayment of their external debt or the service on that debt, with the consequence being that the financial industry faced huge losses.

This course will guide you through the concept of country risk, its parameters, its assessment, the link between risk and country limits, the link between country limits and the capital ratios. It will also examine the use of external country risk ratings.
