Through our research capacity across the various Consultancy Africa Intelligence Units, CAI develops and releases country profiles, outlining and analysing key issues within states.
Covering economic, financial, political and social elements, each country profile is compiled upon request to ensure that the profile is current, and acts as an essential tool in understanding Africa. Structured differently from both the Country Snapshot, and the Country Review, the Profile is a key guide when wanting to better work with certain countries, and appreciate the dynamics that they offer.
While each Profile is tailored for individual clients to ensure optimal benefits from the report, the generic areas covered include:
- Country details (incl. Geography; Territory & territorial disputes etc)
- Political climate (incl. Political history/background; Current government; Political governance and political risk assessment; Levels of political freedom etc)
- Country risk (incl. Security threats; Civil society unrest; Levels of crime; Press freedom etc)
- Economic & financial indicators (incl. GDP & GDP per capita levels; Currency; Inflation; Consumer spending ; Formal and informal sector economies; Levels of foreign investment; Commentary on levels of corruption; Financial indicators; Financial institutions; Accumulated domestic wealth/assets; Foreign exchange controls & associated risks etc)
