Global country Risks may Continue to Rise
According to the "Report", China Credit Insurance's internal assessment of national risk levels and sovereign credit risk levels in 2020, a total of 61 countries have high-risk levels, 93 have medium risk levels, and 38 countries have low-risk levels.
Around 32 countries have high sovereign credit risk levels, 83 countries are medium, 60 countries are low, and 17 countries have risk events.
Since the global pandemic, the world's geopolitical turmoil has intensified and global political stability has declined. The trend of globalization has undergone new changes. Plus, the fragility of industrial and supply chains under the pandemic has caused major developed countries in Europe and the United States to further promote the "return of manufacturing" and industrial chain adjustments.
At the same time, in the context of the world economic recession, intensified international trade frictions, and fierce industry competition, the risk of corporate bankruptcy has become prominent. Some retail, automotive, oil and gas industries have already experienced operating pressure in 2019, and the coronavirus has made many companies bankrupt.
Judging from risks in past economic crises, the "chain reaction" of corporate bankruptcy may have emerged, and the risk of global corporate bankruptcy may continue to rise in the future.
In the Asian region, the overall situation is complex, with factors such as the epidemic, economic downturn, changes in the geopolitical structure, and the game of major powers intertwined.
Risk changes in India, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Turkey, Thailand, Iran and other countries are worthy of attention. In Europe, political risks are generally low. However, politics is becoming fragmented, and domestic political conflicts in some countries have intensified.
Affected by unfavorable factors such as the world economic recession under the epidemic, the intensification of trade frictions between the United States and Europe, and Brexit countries in the eurozone, the government's financial burden has increased.
Risk changes in Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Africa and other countries are worthy of attention. In some countries, the domestic political and social security situation is turbulent due to general elections and geopolitics.
The economic downturn has also increased the possibility of social unrest and violence in some countries. Risk changes in Angola, Zambia, Congo (Kinshasa), Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and other countries are worthy of attention.
The Latin American region is also facing new challenges from politics, economy, debt, society and other aspects, as many countries have fallen into a relatively large recession, resulting in sovereign debts.

Four Characteristics of Future Global Risks
The "Report" believes that since the second half of 2019, especially since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, the global national risk level has risen significantly, and will remain high in the next period. This is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First off, most countries face challenges when it comes to political stability. The continuous spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the increasing prevalence of trade protectionism, the rising populism, and the insufficient governance capabilities of some countries will remain the same for a while. Geopolitical tensions in some regions will continue to increase and political games between major powers could occur down the line.
Second, the global economic recovery is full of difficulties. The pandemic could last for a long time and require long-term response measures. This will have an impact on international production networks, global supply chains and value chains.
The fiscal and monetary policies of various countries have been compressed, along with financial market turmoil and rising labor unemployment. Plus, the deterioration of the political environment and the economic blockade caused by the new crown pneumonia epidemic has had a serious negative impact on the business environment of countries around the world.
Fourth, public debt risks will be higher than ever. In the face of the epidemic, the uncertainty of economic recovery and the sharp drop in commodity prices, some resource exporting countries have sharply reduced their export revenues and faced rising fiscal pressures. In the future, the public debt risks of some countries with higher debt levels may continue to rise.
