The seventh edition of the African Risk-Reward Index ranked Nigeria 7.24 on the scale of 1-10.
“The risk score stems from the economic and political risk evaluator. Each political and economic rating is assigned a default weight based on its significance in the country context and I potential impact on business.
“The reward score incorporates medium-term economic growth forecast, economic size, economic structure and demographics,” according to the report.

The ranking indicates that Mauritius and Botswana are the safest destinations with risk score of 3.71 and 3.81 respectively.
