True

Explanation:

The additional premium demanded by the investors so that they can compensate for the higher risk associated with investments in a foreign country compared to the domestic market is called country risk Premium.

Overseas investment is associated with higher risk due to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, due to these risks the investors are wary of investing in foreign countries.

Country risk premium is affected by country fluctuations, government regulations, higher inflation and political instability. It is an important factor while deciding to invest in foreign markets. CPR can also affect the corporate finance calculations and valuations.
