Home Credit and Political Risk

Protecting Your Business from Credit and Political Risks Worldwide

The world continues to be a politically volatile and unstable place. Add to the equation credit risks and any company or financier can experience either the loss of an asset or receivable or an unexpected liability arising from the following insurable risks:

Buyer or Borrower nonpayment
Counter party non-performance such as failure to deliver goods
Frustration of an overseas contract due to government action or inaction
Import or export license cancellation
Imposition of embargoes

Confiscation, Expropriation, or Nationalisation of fixed assets such as equity or buildings, or mobile assets such as inventory, leased equipment, contractor’s plant, and mortgaged or leased assets
The fair or unfair calling of on-demand guarantees
Physical Damage due to war, political violence, terrorism, strikes, riots, and civil commotion

Customers include banks/financial institutions, funds, exporters, traders, DFIs, and policies can be structured as facultative reinsurance for ECAs and other insurance company customers. Cover is available across all finance sectors but predominantly project, export, commodity, corporate finance, and interbank lending.
