Provides timely analysis and forecasts of the political, economic, social, and business environment in a total of 126 reports about more than 180 countries. Present the political and economic structure of the country, the current political scene, economic policy, domestic economy (covering industry, agriculture, money and finance), foreign trade and payments.
