6 Types of Political Risk

 , updated on
Political risk is the probability that political decisions, events or conditions will result in losses. Politics affect everything from taxes to interest rates and political events can dramatically impact the price of assets or cost of doing business. The following are a few types of political risk.

1. Trade Barriers

Trade barriers such as tariffs can decrease margins or make it impossible to compete in a foreign market. In many cases, trade barriers are the result of local politics or trade wars between nations.

2. Taxes

Changes in taxes can reduce the profitability of a business and affect the price of assets such as stocks. Complex tax rules can also be a burden on small businesses who may need to invest limited resources in understanding and complying with new rules.

3. Legislation

New legislation can result in compliance costs as businesses may need to make changes to operations, products or business processes.

4. Administration

Political turmoil can result in administrative delays. For example, a government may start to delay business critical approvals such as building permits.

5. Political Instability

Political instability such as terrorism, riots, coups, civil war, and insurrection can completely disrupt business operations in a country for long periods of time.

6. Economics

In many cases, politics can influence economic management such as the interest rate decisions that impact asset prices and business costs.
