Kroll Launches Geoeconomic Risk Index to Quantify Global Uncertainty Impact
Kroll has introduced the Geoeconomic Risk Index (GRI), a new metric designed to quantify how geopolitical and economic shifts impact business financial performance, enterprise value, and strategic decision-making. The index is part of Kroll's broader Geoeconomic Resilience Intelligence Platform (GRIP), which integrates proprietary data with AI-driven analytics to model the effects of tariffs, sanctions, supply chain disruptions, and market volatility on revenues and cash flows. The inaugural GRI reading stands at 70.9 on a scale of 0–100, significantly higher than its historical median of 50. This increase reflects heightened geoeconomic pressure following the U.S. midterm elections, driven by energy pressures and market-implied risk. While broader financial conditions remain relatively stable, the index highlights an increasing divergence between elevated geopolitical tensions and current credit conditions.
