(FDI) into developing countries to help

Non-commercial risk insurance (guarantees) for investors
and lenders
Dispute mediation services, to remove possible obstacles
to future investment
Online information on investment opportunities and
operating conditions in developing countries
4MULTILATERAL INVESTMENT GUARANTEE AGENCY WORLD BANK GROUP
Our Development Priorities:
Focusing on sustainable development
Opening up difficult or frontier markets, especially in
countries affected by conflict
Supporting investments in Africa and the world’s poorest
countries
Supporting infrastructure projects (including sub-
sovereign risk)
Promoting cross-border investments between developing
countries
5MULTILATERAL INVESTMENT GUARANTEE AGENCY WORLD BANK GROUP
… political risks still exist
Increased geopolitical instability
Recent investor experience:– repossession of privatized assets
– defaults on government obligations
– concession revocation
– financing difficulty
– contract frustration due to poor legal frameworks
– war and civil disturbance events
Risks increase as sub-sovereign partners involved
1998 - Russia issues a moratorium on private foreign capital payments (projects insured by MIGA exempted)
2002 - Argentina restricts exchange and transfer (loans insured by multilateral and bilateral organizations not subject to this)
2006 - Venezuela and Bolivia impose restriction on transfer of interest payments and announce expropriation of assets in the extractive industries and infrastructure sectors

Value Added to Private Sector Investors
Credit enhancements– Improved access to financing
– Extended tenors of capital; and
– Often reduced capital and financing costs
Greater Confidence. The World Bank Group “umbrella” has a
deterrent effect against government actions that could disrupt
investments. MIGA can influence the resolution of potential disputes
between investors and host governments, thereby preventing claims
Extensive Knowledge– Unparalleled knowledge of emerging economies through
extensive resources of the World Bank Group
– Ensure environmental and social safeguard standards are met
7MULTILATERAL INVESTMENT GUARANTEE AGENCY WORLD BANK GROUP
MIGA attracts and retains private
sector investments
Attracts private sector funding into the
country
Ensures best practice environmental and
social safeguards for projects
Guarantee does not create additional
liability to government than it would
otherwise have– Host Country Approval does not contradict
this
– Subrogation to MIGA in the event of a claim
Honest mediator in the event of dispute
Value Added to Government
