Aon: Arab Spring Revolts Spur Political-Risk Concerns

While clarity has begun to emerge in some of the countries affected by the Arab Spring, the resulting tension has spurred or intensified protests in dozens of countries—and this remains a concern for businesses operating in those nations, says Aon.

Aon Risk Solutions, the global risk-management business of Chicago-based insurance-broker Aon Corp., made this assessment as it released its 2012 Political Risk Map on Feb. 8. The map measures political risk in 167 countries and territories to assess different risk levels.
