Types of Country Information Available

  • Country Commercial Guides -- Prepared each year by U.S. embassies, these valuable guides give the inside scoop on doing business in a country. They provide a comprehensive picture of a country's commercial environment by analyzing the economy as well as political and market conditions. There is even a section in each report on business travel. Even if your research isn't on the business climate per se, these guides are a valuable resource for country background information.
  • Industry Sector Analysis Reports -- Reports that provide detailed information on major industries in a particular country. In addition to conveying market conditions and analysis for the industry, they are helpful in understanding how country infrastructure can affect businesses (e.g., Ports & Shipping Services).
