Political Risk Report

The ability of countries to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and use it effectively is often dependent on political stability. Our/Marsh’s political risk ratings show that the risk of war and terrorism in several regions remains high and could threaten investment returns. Meanwhile, several emerging economies could find it harder to cope with high inflation and borrowing costs, potentially increasing the risk of political instability and social unrest. 

In the transition to a lower-carbon economy, critical minerals bring new risks and opportunities to energy security. A shift in resource-rich countries from mining to minerals and metals for green energy production could lead to future wealth if managed correctly. As momentum and investment in the clean energy transition pick up, the insurance industry has an opportunity and responsibility to help de-risk the energy transition across metals, mining, minerals, and other related sectors.
