Cross-Border Exposures and Country Risk: Assessment and Monitoring »

After graduating as a Doctor of Law in 1961, Thomas E Krayenbuehl began a career that has involved him in banking and financial control and management in the USA, Switzerland and Germany. In 1998 he retired from Union Bank of Switzerland, now UBS AG. At UBS his responsibilities were always associated with business development and risk management in the developing world. He is now an independent consultant working for, among others, the International Finance Corporation in Washington and the Swiss Government on projects in the developing world.

This thoroughly revised edition of Thomas Krayenbuehl’s classic handbook confirms its reputation as the standard work on this formidably complex subject. It is essential reading for bankers, executives of multinational companies and governmental and inter-governmental agencies.
