Aon Corporation, a global provider of risk management services, released a Political Risk Map that ranked Venezuela as one of the 11 countries with the highest political risk in the world.
Venezuela's level of risk was only matched by Haiti, a country that is mired in a serious social, economical and political crisis.
According to AON, Venezuela has a high risk in all the variables analyzed in the study, including war and political violence, sovereign default risk, and foreign exchange transfer problems. In addition to this, Venezuela and Colombia are the only countries in the hemisphere that have war risks.
In the case of Venezuela, AON highlighted massive expropriations and the limited ability to demand payment of obligations from the State.
