Russia is “one of the world’s riskiest locations for business to invest in,” according to a survey of 196 nations by U.K risk-assessment company Maplecroft.
Russia is the 10th-riskiest country for investors, sliding from 15th last year to place between Pakistan and the Central African Republic, Maplecroft’s annual Political Risk Atlas released today. Brazil, India and China, which along with Russia make up the so-called BRIC group of leading emerging-market economies, are ranked 94th, 26th and 62nd, respectively.
