INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR INDEX
Gauge of sovereign debt risk released biannually in Institutional Investor magazine’s March and September issues. This index is an indicator that determines and measures economic health of booms and crises. It requests survey answers from around 75 to 100 investment bank research departments such as loan officers with major multinational banks who evaluate a certain country or countries. The responses are then deliberated according to the particular bank’s global exposure and the degree of sophistication for that nation’s analysis systems.
