Factbook Lite FAQ

What is the difference between Factbook Lite and Factbook?

Factbook Lite holds very handy links for regulators, financial intelligence units and company registries alongside country data and Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Indices.

The full version of Factbook is more comprehensive and you can find out more about it by visiting it’s product outline page but essentially full Factbook lists the following factors:

• FATF / IMF compliance rating with 40+9
• Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index
• Freedom House ratings, civil and political and freedom status
• Transparency International Bribe Payers Index

It also lists:

• Equivalence
• Sanctions
• Industry Links

And holds country data, legislation and best practice.

Factbook is an excellent place to start when assessing country risk. Factbook Lite is a handy desk top companion for finding regional sources and understanding key country data facts.
