Credit and Political Risk
In course of their daily business many organisations having international operations are exposed to counterparty and country risk.
When trading with International partner or investing in operations abroad, your activity becomes subject to Political Risk. In a world where geo political environment can be unpredictable as they are devastating, it makes sense for an organization to obtain insurance to guard against political and financial risk.
The rising demand for PRI for equity investments is driven by heightened awareness of risk level and is supported by perceptions, and indeed incidence of political risks are on the rise.
There are also good reasons why some companies are uncomfortable with taking on the risks associated with operating in a foreign country and under a foreign jurisdiction.
These risks include:
Financial loss caused by unilateral repudiation of a contract by a Government buyer or supplier- Seizure or confiscation of owned or leased assets
- Politically motivated violence that results in property damage, or evacuation and repatriation of the local team leaving valuable equipment behind
- Inability to repatriate equipment once a project or contract is completed
- Inability to repatriate or convert currency earned in that country
- Government buyer wrongfully calling on a guarantee or bond provided by the company
