Each line is calculated from the published data above. The thresholds are explained in our editorial policy. This is not investment advice.
Strengths
- Real GDP grew 3.5% a year on average in 2021–2025.
- Political stability ranks in the 68th percentile worldwide (2025).
Watch points
- Consumer inflation was 220% in 2024, which raises local costs and complicates pricing.
Where demand comes from
- Renewables supplied 9.2% of final energy use in 2021, so there is room to add clean generation.
Resource and energy profile
Rents are the value of production above extraction cost, as a share of GDP.
