NRGI’s Ten Most-Read 2021 Publications

This year NRGI's audiences were keenly interested in country-specific analysis as the pandemic continued to roil economies. The most-read publication of 2021 was Alonso Hidalgo's description of the impact of the pandemic on resource governance in Mexico, with pandemic impact and Resource Governance Index assessments of Peru, Lebanon and Mongolia also proving popular.

Readers were also curious about the risks that oil-producing countries are taking on amid the energy transition, and were particularly interested in learning about how Senegal governs its nascent natural gas sector.
