Each country's own geopolitical risk, normalized to its own 2000‑2019 mean = 100. A value of 150 means risk coverage 50% above that country's normal. Pick any country:
Levels are comparable to each country's own history, not across countries. For cross‑country comparison use the coverage‑share file below.
