KEY POINTS:
Australia remains one of the safest countries in which to do business, despite slipping one position.
The Dun & Bradstreet Global Risk Indicator, which assesses the risk of doing business in 131 countries around the world, has listed Australia as the third safest country in which to do business, behind Austria and Switzerland.
However, Australia's slide in the rankings in the December quarter was not due to a fall in its own risk rating but rather, by an improvement in Austria's rating.
