MIGA opened a new Asian hub in Singapore with underwriters in Hong Kong SAR, China and business development staff in Beijing and Tokyo. This hub aims to capitalize on Asian emerging as a new center of outbound investment growth. We have seen a growing base of investors in China as well as other Asian countries looking to go into the challenging market. MIGA also opened a business development office in Paris, which will focus on new business opportunities in Europe as well as the Middle East and North Africa. We view both of these hubs as providing an excellent opportunity for MIGA to support the economic growth of low-income countries through providing the support to South-South investments. Providing political risk insurance (PRI) for outbound investment from the rich and other middle-income countries has become more important as the level of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) growth from these countries has increased.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGARBITRAL TRIBUNALSARBITRATIONARBITRATIONSBALANCE SHEETBANK FINANCINGBANKING MARKETSBANKING SECTORBENEFICIARYBONDBOND INDEXESBROKERBROKERSBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESCAPITAL ALLOCATIONCAPITAL INJECTIONSCAPITAL MARKETCAPITAL MARKETSCAPITAL RELIEFCAPITAL REQUIREMENTSCHAPTER 7CHECKSCLAIMANTCLIENT BASECLOSED ECONOMYCOMMERCIAL INSURANCECOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMODITY TRADERCOMPETITIVE MARKETCOMPLEX RISKSCONFLICT OF LAWSCOST OF FUNDSCOUNTRY RISKCREDIBILITYCREDIT AGENCIESCREDIT DEFAULTCREDIT DEFAULT SWAPCREDIT MARKETCREDIT RISKCREDITORCREDITORSCURRENCYDEBTDEBT CRISISDEBT OBLIGATIONDEBT STRUCTURESDEBTORDEFAULTSDEFICITSDEGREE OF RISKDEMOCRATIC ACCOUNTABILITYDERIVATIVESDERIVATIVES MARKETSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIRECT INSURANCEDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDOUBLE TAXATIONDUE DILIGENCEECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC RISKSECONOMIC SITUATIONELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKETSEMERGING-MARKETENFORCEABILITYENFORCEMENT MECHANISMEQUITY INVESTORSEXCHANGE CONTROLSEXPENDITURESEXPORT CREDITSEXPORTEREXPORTERSEXPOSUREEXPOSURESEXPROPRIATIONEXPROPRIATION RISKFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL RISKFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SECTORSFINANCIAL STRUCTUREFINANCING ARRANGEMENTSFINANCING OF INVESTMENTFOREIGN ASSETSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN GOVERNMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTSFOREIGN INVESTORFOREIGN INVESTORSFRAUDFREE TRADEFREE TRADE AGREEMENTSGENERAL COUNSELGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL FINANCIAL SERVICESGLOBAL TRADEGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT ACTIONGOVERNMENT ACTIONSHOLDINGHOLDINGSHOST COUNTRYHOST GOVERNMENTHUMAN RIGHTSINCOMEINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINSTITUTIONAL LENDERSINSTRUMENTINSURANCEINSURANCE CLAIMSINSURANCE INDUSTRYINSURANCE MARKETINSURANCE POLICIESINSURANCE POLICYINSURANCE PRODUCTINSURANCE PRODUCTSINSURANCE PROGRAMINSURANCESINSURERINSURERSINTEREST RATEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL CREDITINTERNATIONAL LAWINTERNATIONAL LAWSINTERNATIONAL POLITICSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINVESTMENT BANKINGINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT CONTRACTINVESTMENT CORPORATIONINVESTMENT DECISIONINVESTMENT FLOWSINVESTMENT MARKETINVESTMENT PROJECTSINVESTOR DEMANDISSUANCEJOINT VENTUREJUDGMENTJURISDICTIONLEGAL ADVICELEGAL DISPUTELEGAL PROTECTIONLEGAL SYSTEMSLENDERLIABILITYLIQUIDITYLOANLOCAL CURRENCYLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMARKET CONDITIONSMARKET DEMANDMARKET DEVELOPMENTMARKET ECONOMIESMARKET ENVIRONMENTMARKET PARTICIPANTMIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIESMORTGAGENATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNEW PRODUCTSNONPAYMENTOPERATIONAL RISKSOUTPUTPENSIONPENSION SYSTEMPERFORMANCE BONDPOLITICAL RISKPOLITICAL RISK INSURANCEPOLITICAL RISK INSURANCESPOLITICAL RISKSPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIOSPOTENTIAL LIABILITYPRIVATE ENTITYPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTORPRIVATE LENDERSPRIVATE MARKETPRIVATE PARTYPRIVATIZATIONPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPUT OPTIONRATE OF RETURNRATES OF INTERESTREAL ESTATEREGIME CHANGESREGULATORREGULATORSREGULATORY SYSTEMSREINSURANCEREINSURANCE CAPACITYREPUDIATIONREPUTATIONRETURNRETURNSRISK AVERSIONRISK FACTORRISK FACTORSRISK MANAGEMENTRULE OF LAWSETTLEMENTSHAREHOLDERSMALL BUSINESSESSMALL INVESTORSSOVEREIGN RISKTAXTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERRORISMTRADE CREDITTRADE DEBTTRADE FINANCETREATIESTREATYUNDERWRITERUNDERWRITERSVOLATILITYWITHDRAWALWORKOUTSWORLD ECONOMYWORLD MARKETSWORLD TRADEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-9877-7
