Covered risks
What risks are covered under an Untied Loan Guarantee?
Untied Loan Guarantees provide cover against the risk of default on the repayment claim under a loan agreement.
The guarantee encompasses both political and commercial risks:
Political risks
- State measures: Legislative or administrative measures
- War, armed conflicts, riots and revolution abroad
- Conversion and transfer risks
- Exchange rate losses on amounts deposited due to a national devaluation
Commercial risks
- Insolvency of borrower (in case of private foreign debtors)
- Loss of receivables due to settlement in court or out of court as well as unsuccessful execution
- Suspension of payment by the foreign debtor
- Non-payment within one month after maturity (protracted default)
Worth knowing: On application, the scope of cover can be limited to political risks. Furthermore, the Federal Government may exclude or limit the extent of cover for certain risks when deciding on issuing a guarantee.
