What is the J Curve?

The J Curve is a framework that analyzes political development within twelve countries which have economic growth opportunities, but pose vastly different kinds of challenges for policy makers and businesses that are expanding globally. Each nation’s relative position on the curve is dynamic, subject to multiple variables and pressure points that determine its political and economic openness.

The J Curve can help companies to evaluate the impact of political development on important business factors such as investment timing, opportunity assessment, operating stability, supply chain stability, and contractual breaches.

Incorporating political risk assessment into the business decision process does not have to be a complex or daunting task. Learn the five key steps companies can take.
