A low percentage reading indicates a rather positive and low-risk environment for government bonds.
Generally, a risk score equal to or above 60% should indicate a relatively high-risk situation.
The comprehensive and broad Global Bond Market Risk Rating (GBMR) is tracking sovereign debt issued by the 21 most important countries. The GBMR consists of three regional risk ratings.

Bond Risk Ratings at a Glance
The bond market is one of the major markets for investment. The estimated size of the global bond market is 100 trillion USD, which makes it bigger than the global stock market. Out of this figure, 40 trillion USD is the size of the US bond market. This makes bonds a lucrative investment and essential to have a diverse investment portfolio.
The bond market might not be as unpredictable or unstable as the stock market, but there are still times when market conditions might be unfavorable with a high-risk environment. This makes it necessary for investors to monitor market conditions and the current risk environment constantly.
