A key priority for the World Bank Group is supporting private sector activity and economic growth in conflict-affected and fragile economies (CAFE). The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), a member of the World Bank Group, is conducting a survey among local investors and commercial banks to gauge investment and trade flows to these economies.
Your input is critically important as we seek to better understand market environment and better meet market needs in these countries. In particular, your feedback will assist us in the development of a risk mitigation facility for trade and investment.
Please take just 15 minutes of your time to fill out the following questionnaire. Thank you!
Please note: Your responses anonymous and completely confidential. Your privacy will not be compromised by participating in this survey. |

MIGA is currently proposing a Conflict-Affected and Fragile Economies Facility (CAFEF) to help support trade and investment flows into such countries. The Facility will offer export credit and investment insurance for trade and investment projects to these economies – higher risk environments and where long-term financing may be difficult to obtain.
Under the facility, political risk insurance would be provided for local investment projects. Typical coverages include nationalization/expropriation, war and civil disturbance, breach of contract, and non-honoring of sovereign financial obligations. See definitions for more information.
Your input will help us as we design the facility to meet market needs. |
