MANAGEMENT OF POLITICAL RISKS IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND POLITICAL RISK INSURANCE

Year 2022, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 238 - 242, 30.12.2022

Abstract

Political risk is the sum of the economic losses that businesses may suffer as a result of the ineffectiveness or influence of public authorities. It is the most important risk that international businesses may face abroad. Since international businesses do not operate in only one country, they may be exposed to varying degrees of political risk through the approaches of various governments. The presence of political risks stands as the biggest obstacle to foreign investments of enterprises. One of the arguments used for the management and minimization of political risks is political risk insurance. Political risk insurance is a type of insurance that businesses take out in order to secure risks such as changes in the political order in the foreign country where trade or investment is made, political instability or crises. Companies and distributors doing contracting works abroad also prefer this insurance. In recent years, political risk insurance has emerged as the most preferred type of insurance in Turkey in order to secure the investments of contractors, trade and industrial organizations abroad in terms of political risk and to prevent damage to export and import agreements. With this insurance, war and political violence, expropriation, breach of contract, transfer restrictions etc. risks can be covered under insurance. The providers of this insurance are not only private insurance companies, but also reinsurers, export credit institutions and insurance providers in international organizations.
In this study; The management of political risks in international businesses, the general conditions of the political risk insurance, which is put into practice under the name of Single Risk Insurance against political and commercial risks, the direction of implementation and the latest developments are discussed.
