Insurance Cover
Political risk insurance is available against a broad spectrum of risks, including non-payment products for financial institutions, expropriation, war and political violence, cancellation of operating licences, exchange transfer problems, import and export embargoes and non-repossession for global corporations. Covers can be purchased individually or as part of a tailor-made portfolio. Our Political risk insurance specialists can place cover in the private market, or in conjunction with ECAs, MIGA or other multi-laterals.

Political Risk Analysis
Our political risk audits use proprietary financial analysis software combining country risk information, industry factors, and company-specific data to identify and prioritize your political and economic risks, and associated financial exposures. The result is an in-depth review of your vulnerability to political and economic risks, and value-at-risk financial exposures. The audit is especially useful for firms with large overseas operations, either directly or through their suppliers.
