With access to a wealth of historical data sources, my own statistical database and a large archive of news media, I am able to use my expertise in market analysis and my geopolitical knowledge to make accurate economic and political risk assessments.

I generate industry forecasts, taking into account productive capacity, supply factors, seasonal trends, political climate and the prevailing economic cycle.

My country-based market studies have been commissioned by some of the world's leading emerging market specialists and market research companies, including FT.com and TNS Global.  

My work for clients such as Dun and Bradstreet and Business Monitor International has involved researching and assessing the political situation in a wide variety of states and regions. This involves analysing the latest events and trends in political, security and military affairs on both a regional and country basis. Since 2004, I have contributed analysis and forecasting for Business Monitor International's automotive, defence, petrochemicals and metals quarterly and annual reports.

I can provide up-to-date research, with a full range of risk services and solutions on the Arab world, Africa, Iran, Central Asia and South Asia. I offer the following services:

• Bespoke reports prepared on an individual basis
  
• Scenario analysis, with forecasts of outcome probabilities
  
• Practical recommendations for businesses on responding to trends
  
• Assessment of geopolitical developments, including security co-operation and terrorist threats
