Azerbaijan's economy has been hit by a series of negative shocks - particularly a marked drop in oil prices, significant growth slowdown and currency depreciations in trading-partner countries. Limited financial sector development also weighs on domestic access to finance. Azerbaijan's challenges with legal risks - underscored by high levels of corruption in all spheres of public life, and cumbersome legislation in certain industries - limit foreign involvement and poses major risks for investors. On the upside, the government offers generous tax breaks in technology sectors and, at least on paper, welcomes foreign investment, viewing it as a tool for economic development. Moreover, a number of infrastructure and institutional development projects are in progress, and we expect to see pay-off in the coming years.

The main risks to foreign investors in Cameroon stem from the prevalence of corruption and the country's inefficient bureaucracy, making setting up operations in the country costly and highly time-consuming. Comparatively, trade barriers and hefty tax burdens continue to raise operating costs across all sectors and inhibit trade and economic diversification efforts. Meanwhile, the judicial system lacks transparency and businesses face risks from political interference in settling disputes or enforcing contracts.

Chile's stable and pro-business government, open markets, developed financial industry and transparent regulatory system result in the country having one of the most attractive investment profiles in Latin America. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is welcomed into many sectors of the economy, and there is little bias in favour of domestic sources of capital. While the country's attractiveness to investors will be undermined by falling demand for one its major export commodities, copper, the strength of the country's institutions and a favourable investment climate will ensure it remains a popular location for FDI in Latin America.

China's huge domestic market; investment incentives in high value-added sectors; high research and development expenditure; and a relatively stable political environment are all conducive for foreign investment, attracting investors. Nevertheless, corruption within business and politics remains pervasive in spite of targeted anti-corruption initiatives, and intellectual property protection remains weak. State-owned enterprises enjoy preferential treatment over foreign entities in areas such as credit allocation, taxation and legal protection. In addition to this, the risk of rising global protectionism from trading partners such as the US has the potential to deeply affect China's export volumes, hurting the country's trade balance.

Trade and Investment risks are very high in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) owing to the country's high fiscal and trade barriers and the extent of red tape plaguing its bureaucracy. As a result, and compounded by the volatile domestic security situation, foreign investment in the country remains low by regional standards. The country's weak regulatory environment will continue to curb foreign investors due to fears over licensing, taxation and government intervention in the sector. Moreover, the non-independence of the country's judiciary poses further risks to all businesses, providing minimal protection against corrupt practices.

Côte d'Ivoire is a West African outperformer in terms of the overall trade and investment risks that businesses will face when operating in the country. Its strongest assets come in the form of high levels of openness to international trade and liberal foreign investment regime, low tax burdens, and West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) membership, which provides for more ease in terms of foreign currency transactions and access to a regional bourse. The Ivorian government's pro-business stance since 2011 has also seen significant reductions in bureaucratic red tape for business operation as well as legal dispute resolution. Many problems still exist for businesses, largely in the form of the many contextual barriers to FDI such as the country's fragile political stability and underdeveloped land ownership systems.

The Croatian economy is beginning to show signs of resilience as GDP growth outperforms expectations. The government has enacted a number of pro-investment reforms to its regulatory framework to attract greater volumes of foreign direct investment (FDI), and aims to treat foreign and domestic investors equally. While the country has a high level of openness to FDI, there is a lack of capital market liquidity that may result in businesses struggling to raise investment funds or access credit. Nevertheless, Croatia's domestic financial market is more developed than that of other regional states and businesses have recourse to international markets, creating an alternative market place for trading securities.
