XRising geopolitical tensions, commodity-price volatility, political violence and separatist movements are exacerbating political risks globally for foreign investors.
Rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions represent the “most urgent global risks at present”, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2019.
Explore the 14th edition of the Global Risks Report, prepared by the World Economic Forum with the support of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
As the geopolitical landscape becomes increasingly uncertain, multinational organisations and financial institutions have elevated their awareness of the inherent challenges faced when conducting business in areas of concern. Seemingly tranquil countries and regions can erupt quickly and the nature of events is increasingly unpredictable. The risk of business interests being concentrated in just one, or a few, regions is an issue among companies that operate in emerging risk areas.
In the realm of political risk, where coverage is often difficult to write, Marsh can assist you in managing issues across multiple markets and regions worldwide. We can help you negotiate a suitable policy to cover the risks you face and safeguard against disputed claims. Our team of globally-connected experts offers the talent, thought leadership and geographic coverage to access solutions from multilateral agencies and development banks, which can offer cover in particularly difficult jurisdictions.
Our areas of expertise include:
With a combination of local expertise and a global footprint, in most situations we can obtain the capacity you need at terms that meet the unique needs of your organisation. We often place policies with limits of more than US$1 billion, enabling you to reduce the total cost of risk, while protecting your assets.
