SELF-EXPLAINING POLITICAL RISK DATA

With our MBI CONIAS Risk Intelligence database, we offer the service of a “translation of values into text” – to give versed as well as less experienced analysts quick access to the data. In addition, we also provide a kind of interpretation for assessing the consequences of political risks. This allows you to analyze the current situation in different regions in order to assess the extent of politically motivated, physical violence. The data is given a temporal context for adequate risk management.

Instead of a snapshot, our self-explaining political risk data provides insights into current risk and risk development, trend development as well as details and conflicts per region. With MBI CONIAS Risk Intelligence, you get these insights and trend forecasts for numerous countries worldwide in order to be able to assess political risks and their impact.

CONIAS SUSAFE – OUR BASIC PRODUCT

Analysis of the current situation and placement in a temporal context

With our basic product CONIAS SUSAFE you have the opportunity to analyze the current situation in order to grasp the extent of politically motivated physical violence. It is recommended for a general overview of political risk.

CONIAS SUSAFE shows, in addition to the highest observable intensities of a region, the total number of violent conflicts that took place in a province.

For adequate risk management, the current situation is also placed in a temporal context. Risk managers and analysts are not only interested in an assessment of the current conflict situation and its impact on physical security in the different regions. Furthermore, they need to know how representative this month is for the country. For this purpose, we consider the highest conflict intensity and the number of months with violent conflict per region, but also the current intensity and the median of the last 12 months.

Map of Turkey with intensity of conflicts (11 months). In the past 12 the intensity of "limited war" has been observed in this region. The region was affected by political violence in 11 out of 11 months. Both numerical indicators can also be translated "as text", by concise explanations for the user.

Trend forecast

Predicting the future completely correctly and thus accurately naming all risks will probably remain a dream. But just by observing the behavior of conflicts in each affected region, the risk of political violence can be correctly predicted for more than 80% of all nearly 4,000 regions studied. We are working on further models to continuously optimize this rate.

Therefore, the CONIAS SUSAFE Calculated Trends contain the trend forecast as an add-on to the CONIAS SUSAFE basic product. It includes, among other things, the calculated trend for the current month and the next three months. It is recommended for a general overview and long-term risk management using trend forecasts.

Calculated trend values are an extremely useful tool for determining the magnitudes of political risks. But – similar to weather forecasting – the prediction accuracy decreases the further the period of interest lies in the future. This is where our product CONIAS SURE might be of interest.

But a look at the details can also provide further understanding of a region’s conflict situation and show which news items to pay particular attention to in the future.
