Political Risk Insurance: Contingency Insurance
Insurance coverage that protects a contractor or other type of business providing a service for expenses incurred in the event a contract is not ratified by a foreign government. For example, if a contractor decides to start building a structure prior to the foreign government ratifying the agreement and the ratification fails, the contractor would be indemnified for expenses incurred.
