Methodology note

NOT A CREDIT RATING

The Asia Risk Score is a transparent screening model. It combines GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, public debt, fiscal balance, current account, trade openness, FDI, GDP per capita and life expectancy where data are available. Missing values are replaced by conservative income-group fallbacks until national API adapters are activated.
