POLITICAL RISK SUITE
Political Risk Insurance
Protection against political, host country, or other corresponding adjustments related risks

Coverage may include expropriation, deprivation of assets or rights (including through export restrictions), currency inconvertibility, political violence, forced abandonment, forced divestiture, selective discrimination and arbitration award default.
