The PRS Group was established in 1979, making it among the first commercial providers of political and country forecasts. The company kept its original focus on political risk analysis and became independent in 1999. Cited as a “leading organization in investment risk analysis” by investor Jim Rogers, the PRS Group offers two distinct, independent methodologies for assessing risk: Political Risk Services (PRS) and the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG). The company produces a range of products based on these two risk rating systems. Online subscriptions to PRS’s products cover more than 160 developed, emerging and frontier markets. With a quantitative focus for all of its risk ratings and forecasts, the firm assesses the impact of country risk on multinational business operations and the major asset classes.
