Managing Country and Geopolitical Risk in an Era of Elevated Uncertainty

Join S&P Global Market Intelligence for an in-person briefing, “Managing Country and Geopolitical Risk in an Era of Elevated Uncertainty.” This session will give banks an in-depth view of today’s geopolitical and economic landscape, highlighting potential conflicts, their impacts, and emerging risks. 

Broken into three interactive sessions, our researchers and economists will cover:

Setting the Scene: Growth, Geopolitics and Alternative Outlooks

How shifts in geopolitics, macroeconomic conditions and policy decisions are reshaping country risk across regions and markets. Our experts will examine key uncertainties, alternative scenarios and the potential implications for risk conditions, capital flows and cross-border exposures.

Digging Deeper: Country Risk Dynamics & External Pressures - Where Stress Could Build Next

The session explores how evolving country risk profiles are being influenced by geopolitical tensions, policy changes and pressures within the financial system. Through regional examples and cross-country comparisons, our panellists will explore how a multidimensional view of country risk can provide earlier insight into changing conditions.

Early Warning Indicators: Moving from Static Classifications to Actionable Exposure Management

 Through practical examples and use cases, this session uncovers how forward-looking indicators can help identify emerging deterioration, hidden concentrations and correlated risks across portfolios. Learn how risk teams are using early warning signals to support portfolio monitoring, country limits and more timely, defensible exposure management decisions.
