Political Risk: the possibility of political action affecting business.

As divergence has surpassed globalization in understanding the new dynamics in geopolitics, the markets and people are now even more exposed to risks.

The risk of economic and political confrontations between major powers tops the short-term risk expectations. The stage where most of these confrontations occur is the wider Middle East and North Africa region and the Eurasian Corridor.

This is where we come into play. Building upon decades of regional expertise, RDM Advisory is helping firms throughout the globe;

·      To identify and assess the political, economic and security risks in the concerned regions;

·      To develop strategies and warning mechanisms for mitigating them;

·      To manage risks and reduce their impact;

·      To monitor and create a learning cycle for risks to come;

Our goal is to help businesses to make informed decisions in an ever more uncertain political climate and minimize the adversary effects; in short, save them money, resources and time.

In the political and strategic risk area, we offer our clients the following:

·      Comprehensive country risk reports in the MENA and CIS regions - including Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq and their key political actors, main domestic and international issues, and most recent tax and business regulations;

·      Newsletters on political, economic and security-related developments;

·      Bespoke strategic communications advice, including message development, crisis communications and reputation management;

·      On-demand comprehensive policy papers and in-depth sector analyses;

·      Online, on-the-phone or face-to-face political risk consultation.
