Territorial risk management in relation to country risk classification and export

Abstract

The subject of research is focused on determining the dependence of exports and the level of territorial risk assessment. Companies assess and manage risks that may affect the course of their contracts. Information on business partners, territorial and commercial risks are an important tool of territorial risk management. For the exporter it is all the more important to focus on the risks associated with international reach, which may already be more difficult to assess, in terms of data acquisition and their proper evaluation. They must also decide on the appropriate way to hedge the risks. Various tools and specialized institutions can help exporters with risk assessment. The aim of the article is to evaluate the extent to which published assessments of territorial risks influence decision-making and management of territorial risks in connection with the resulting export. Based on the analysis of data from primary sources and OECD and EGAP data from 1999 to 2018, the relationship between risk assessment and export volume in selected countries was examined. The results of the analysis show that the riskiness of countries has an impact on the resulting exports.
