Political Risk insurance for Financial Institutions

A European financial institution won the mandate to arrange a syndicated working capital facility for its client - a Mexican food processor. However, faced with country limit constraints and costly provisioning requirements, the lead bank, on behalf of itself and all syndicate participants, came to AIU for support. Within just 5 working days, we issued a Political Risk Insurance policy covering the entire facility and the loan was disbursed. The policy provided sufficient risk transfer to make the risk acceptable to the lenders at a cost affordable to the borrower.
