Political Risk Insurance

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) partners with the private sector to finance solutions to the most critical challenges facing the developing world today. DFC invests across sectors including energy, healthcare, critical infrastructure, food security, and small business support. DFC investments adhere to high standards and respect the environment, human rights, and worker rights. DFC provides Political Risk coverage of up to $1 billion against losses due to currency inconvertibility, government interference, and political violence including terrorism. DFC also offers reinsurance to increase underwriting capacity.

DFC supports investment in more than 100
countries around the world and prioritizes
investment in low- and lower-middle-income
countries, as defined by the World Bank. DFC may
consider projects in certain upper-middle-income
countries that address key agency priorities or
serve underserved communities. Investors must be willing and able to make sufficient
financial investment to the project to support its
long-term viability. Projects DFC supports must demonstrate the competence of the management team and financial records in the same or a closely related business that show a recent record of success.
All DFC projects are required to be conducted
with respect for the environment, worker rights,
human rights, and local communities, while also
encouraging a positive host country impact. Other underwriting policies apply. Subject to negotiated terms and conditions. See <https://www.dfc.gov/apply>.
