Enhancing Credit and Increasing Access to Commercial Financing
A member of the World Bank Group, MIGA is mandated to promote developmentally sustainable foreign direct investment into its developing member countries. It does this by providing political risk insurance (guarantees) against certain non-commercial risks to cross-border investments, as well as by providing dispute resolution services for guaranteed investments.

Connecting Telecommunications Investments
Driven by rapid technological change and the lower cost of cell phones versus fixed landlines, global demand for telecommunications continues to grow. While the rate of telecommunications growth in high-income countries has tapered off, reflecting higher penetration rates and a maturing market base, growth in middle and lower-income countries remains strong, especially with the increase in broadband connectivity.
Mobilizing Investments, Rebuilding Confidence
Years of conflict can color investors’ perceptions of risks, particularly those of a noncommercial nature. A survey of foreign corporate investors conducted by MIGA in 2013 found that political risk was by far their principal concern when investing in developing countries.
Fortifying Power Investments
The global need for power is enormous. Today, more than one billion people lack access to electricity. Rapid industrialization coupled with the increased buying power of local citizens is further fueling the demand. Moreover, as emerging markets become locations of choice for companies in search of lower-cost operations, demand for power in these nations is skyrocketing.
Reducing the Risk Profile of Financial Investments
Lack of long-term local funding has always been a major constraint on growth in developing countries. Local banks normally have access to short-term funding through local deposits, but long-term funds tend to be scarce and international banks are less inclined to take on longer-term risks due to the inherent instabilities in some emerging economies and the need to prudently manage their country limits.
