Country risk management: making societies more resilient

This publications addresses the possibility for countries to identify and prepare risks through integrated risk management approaches. It states that early identification and prioritisation of risks enable societies to increase their resilience by preventing, reducing or adapting to them, including measures to finance economic losses before an event occurs through risk transfer solutions. It advocates for high-level coordination across government, political and private sector bodies to be enhanced, and for a country risk officer to act as a focal point in the process of systematic risk management to provide a public face.
