“…The first-two points on the relevance of positioning the inquiry in Africa can be synthesised with the viewpoint that investigating the link between financial access and information sharing in developing nations and specifically in Africa is a timely contribution to the literature because African countries are characterised with poor institutional and legal conditions (Goldberg & Veitch, 2010;Alhassan & Biekpe, 2016). These institutional constraints tend to bolster informational issues in credit markets whether they are non-conventional (informal or semi-formal) or conventional (formal).…”

This study assesses the role of information sharing in financialization (or coexistence of financial sub-systems) for financial access. The empirical evidence is based on contemporary and non- formalization is an increasing function of financial activity (or access to credit) whereas the negative complementarity of ISOs and financial informalization is a decreasing function of financial activity. In order to leverage on the synergy between ISO and financial formalization for enhanced financial access, some policy measures are proposed.JEL Classification: G20; G29; L96; O40; O55

“…This is suggestive of how to understand the phenomenon of foreign debt default. There are many studies related to country risk, its financial integration in a coun try, the impact on economic and other aspects of country's welfare (Cathy, Goldberg 2009;Kesternich, Schnitzer 2010;Benítez et al 2007;Bordo et al 2009;D' Argensio, Laurin 2009). …”

“…The results indicated the superiority of the MH DIS method as opposed to these traditional discrimina tion techniques already applied in country risk assessment. Similarly, Cathy and Goldberg (2009) introduced their point of view on country risk and financial integration by pre senting a case study. Marshall et al (2009) have estimated and determined the country risk of an emerging market as well as dynamic conditional correlation by using GARCH model, which could be one of alternatives for country risk evaluation.…”

“…Country risk, as suggested by Al Khattab (2006b) and Goldberg and Veitch (2010) refers to the risk of investing in a country, dependent on changes in the business environment that may adversely affect operating profits or the value of assets in a specific country. This term is also sometimes referred to as political risk, however country risk is a more general term, which generally only refers to risks affecting all enterprises operating within a particular country.…”

The recent growth in diplomatic, civil and military conflicts presents evolving challenges for international business. These risks create new sources of country risk. Country risk, in this sense, is commonly associated with the risk faced by enterprises in developed countries while conducting their business operations in developing or politically volatile countries. Few studies, however, have been carried out on the impact of country risk on enterprises from developing countries operating in other developing countries.This research investigates the role of the risk manager in country risk assessment (CRA) within Jordanian multinational enterprises (MNEs) by adopting a survey strategy. The methodology included questionnaires which distributed to the entire Jordanian multinational enterprises.The main finding of this research was the role of risk managers is still not being maximised, and enterprises may not be achieving optimum benefits from their risk management system.
