The changing face of the new Europe has opened a wide variety of opportunities for companies to develop their business operations. However the expansion of activities from a local stage to the international arena is coupled with a larger number of more complex decisions, many of which involve substantial risk.
To get a concise risk assessment of the markets in Central and Eastern Europe move on to Country Risk 2005 . On a country by country basis Coface business intelligence provides you with trading risk analyses and country ratings as well as payment default probabilities.
2004 Country Risk Conference, 27th January 2004
A one-day assessment of risks and opportunities worldwide
All international trade players, bankers, investors, and entrepreneurs know the Coface expertise in analysing risks on countries and companies. Coface is thus inviting them, for the seventh consecutive year, to participate in a panoramic assessment of worldwide risks and opportunities in emerging and industrialised countries.
Coface is present in 91 countries. It exploits a unique information tool, the Common Risk System that integrates data on 44 million companies updated in real time by all group underwriters based on their daily analysis of company risks. That database constitutes an extraordinary observation post for monitoring company payment behaviour and provides Coface with an advanced sovability indicator in businesses in over 140 countries.
Coface thus draws on its international presence and Common Risk System in determining country @ratings that are complementary to @rating Credit Opinions on individual companies. With the analysis extending to economic sectors, any operator can effectively assess overall risk associated with a transaction.
With its recognised expertise, international presence, and unique tools, Coface is constantly facilitating daily business-to-business commerce worldwide. The 2003 Country Risk Conference is an integral part of that mission. Its purpose is to provide international trade operators with the means to enhance their export and investment decision-making.
