Sovereign Risk Indicators

This report does not constitute a rating action.

"Sovereign Risk Indicators" contains comparative statistics for rated sovereigns. Tables 1-5 include economic measures, monetary data, fiscal and debt indicators, balance-of-payments information, and external balance sheet data. To view the full data set, please click on the "View Expanded Table" tab at the top of each table. A glossary at the end of this article explains the reported concepts.

An interactive version of the Sovereign Risk Indicators can be found at www.spratings.com/SRI. We publish our Sovereign Risk Indicators quarterly. The next edition of the sovereign risk indicators will be published on Dec. 12, 2022.
