What is Political Risk?
• Political risk is the probability of disruption to a companies operations by
political forces or events, whether they occur in host countries or result
from changes in the international environment.
• Insurable Political Risk Events are those which Insurers have felt able and
comfortable to identify, quantify and price
• Political Risk Insurance overs more broad cover than cover provided by
Terrorism insurance

Terrorism/Political Violence Coverage Comparison
Terrorism Insurance
Political Risk Insurance
More standardized terms; wording similar to property
Tailored, more negotiation
Frequently purchased to meet Lender’s requirements to fill gap
in property cover after 9/11
Often bundled w/ other political perils like Expropriation but
also available on a stand-alone basis.
Pricing driven more off of TIV of portfolio
Pricing based more on limit and country group
More portfolios of exposure insured
More single placements insured but growing demand for and
placement of portfolio cover
Typically, annually renewed terms, although sometimes 3 and
max 5 year policies are possible.
Up to 20 years
Best for: Developed Countries
Best for: Emerging Markets
Both types of coverage may be endorsed to include loss from Business Interruption (loss of business income), Increased
Expense, and Debris Removal (in addition to physical damage loss valued at replacement cost).
List of perils is restricted

BIG PICTURE: MARKET FOR TRANSFER OF “POLITICAL RISK”
‘Broader’ political risks
have long been
excluded by property
insurers. A range of
markets offer solutions
to either specific perils
or the full range of
political risks.
Standalone terrorism
insurance market
used to ‘write back’
the post Sep. 11,

Benefits of a Political Risk Policy
• A PRI Policy provides risk transfer of catastrophic loss scenarios that can
damage a companies balance sheet and P&L.
• Political Risk Insurance can provide corporate stakeholders – owners,
shareholders, senior management and directors, with comfort that
unforeseen risks in emerging country operations are contained.
• PRI may improve lending arrangements for the parent company’s
international operations.
• PRI can soften perceptions of investors that a company is taking on too
much political risk, thus impacting the stock price.
• Policies may be structured to address one country alone or a portfolio of
countries.
