Country Risk Monitor — Economics + OFAC Sanctions + Disaster Risk

Comprehensive country risk profiles from four government data sources in a single API call. Built for supply chain teams, FDI analysts, compliance officers, and insurance underwriters.

What it does

Building a country risk model requires pulling from multiple sources: economic indicators, sanctions lists, geography, and disaster history. This Actor handles all four in parallel and produces a composite risk score with individual dimension scores.

Source	Data	License
World Bank API	GDP per capita, GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, debt-to-GDP	CC-BY 4.0
OFAC (US Treasury)	Sanctions status, active sanction programs (IRAN, CUBA, RUSSIA, etc.)	US Government Public Domain
USGS Earthquake Catalog	Earthquake frequency and magnitude over N years	US Government Public Domain
REST Countries	Population, area, capital, languages, coordinates	MPL 2.0

Input

{
  "countries": ["US", "JP", "IR", "RU", "BR"],
  "years": 5
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
countries	string[]	["US", "JP", "BR"]	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes
years	number	5	Lookback period for earthquake data (1–10)

  }
}

Risk Score Logic

Economic risk (0–6): inflation >10% (+2), unemployment >15% (+2), GDP growth <-2% (+2)

Natural disaster risk (0–3): earthquake count >20 (+3), >5 (+2), >0 (+1)

Sanction risk (0–4): comprehensive sanctions (+4), partial (+2), none (0)

Total → Risk level: CRITICAL (≥6), HIGH (≥4), MEDIUM (≥2), LOW (<2)

Use Cases

• Supply chain due diligence — screen supplier countries before onboarding
• FDI / market entry analysis — composite risk score across economic + political + natural dimensions
• Trade finance compliance — OFAC sanctions check integrated with economic context
• Insurance underwriting — risk profiling for political risk and export credit policies
• ESG reporting — country-level risk factors for portfolio companies

Why this beats building it yourself

Four API integrations (World Bank multi-indicator fetch, OFAC XML parsing with program extraction, USGS geospatial query, REST Countries), composite scoring across three risk dimensions, and parallel fetching. A developer building this from scratch needs a full day minimum.
