IRMI - Political Risk Insurance

Overview

Companies operating in developing countries face political risks that can lead to significant losses, whether through sales offices, warehouses, factories, exploration, or mining. Investors also encounter risks with emerging market debt, equity, and lending. Political risk insurance protects against losses from currency restrictions, expropriation, and political violence. This course introduces insurance producers to political risk insurance to help them discuss it with clients.
