Supply chain risk in Mexico

Mexico carries a composite country risk of 60.4 out of 100 — the elevated band, rank 19 of 50 countries in the Tieron reference catalog. Below: the four published indices behind that number with their weights, and what the composite becomes once it is combined with each of 33 manufacturing sectors.
