Country Risk Assessment

47 markets. Specialist coverage. No generic scorecards.

Generic country risk scores mask the nuance that drives real investment outcomes. Crestmore's country risk assessments are built from primary research, structured interviews with government officials and industry participants, and deep institutional knowledge of how each market actually operates.

We cover 47 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, MENA, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia — in meaningful depth, not superficially.

  • Sovereign risk profiles (political, fiscal, regulatory)

Sector Deep-Dives

Specialist analysis you cannot get from generalist providers.

Our sector deep-dives provide the kind of granular, technically-grounded analysis that generalist research houses cannot replicate. Each report is anchored in primary data collection, often including field visits, operator interviews, and trade data analysis.

Published on a scheduled basis, our sector reports function as definitive reference documents for institutional investors and corporate strategists.

Key Deliverables

  • Annual sector outlook reports (80–120 pages)
  • Supply-demand modelling to 10-year horizon
  • Price forecasting with scenario analysis
  • Competitive landscape mapping

Advisory Retainers

A Crestmore analyst on your team — without the overhead.

Our retainer clients receive priority access to Crestmore analysts, our proprietary datasets, and the full body of published research. Retainers are structured as ongoing relationships, typically for 12-month periods, enabling us to provide contextualised analysis that deepens over time.

This is our most valued service tier. We work with a limited number of retainer clients to ensure quality is maintained.

Key Deliverables

  • Unlimited analyst Q&A sessions (phone, video, in-person)
  • Full access to all published research and data

Your specific question. Our dedicated research team.

For research needs that fall outside our standard service lines, we offer bespoke commissioned research. From a rapid 48-hour briefing note to a multi-month deep-dive programme, we tailor our approach to your timeline, budget, and deliverable requirements.

Custom research mandates are subject to availability and a brief scoping conversation with our senior team.

Key Deliverables

  • Rapid briefing notes (24–72 hour turnaround)
  • Structured research reports to client specification
  • Data builds and proprietary database construction
  • Expert network interviews and synthesis
