Country Risk
Country risk refers to the potential for financial losses arising from political instability, economic conditions, or regulatory changes in a specific country. It encompasses political risk, economic risk, and sovereign risk, and it affects the value of investments, currencies, and bonds associated with that nation.
Example
“Investors demanded a higher yield on the country's sovereign bonds due to elevated country risk stemming from political uncertainty and a deteriorating fiscal outlook.”
