By applying to Export Credit Insurance Corporation (KUKE), you can secure your company against eventual losses related to the implementation of a direct investment abroad that results from the actions of the state in which the investment is being executed:

• changes in legal regulations (regulatory risk);
• expropriation;
• inability to transfer receivables (e.g. divident);
• complete deprivation of the possibility of exercising the rights linked to the investment.

Indemnity is also paid in the event of the investment being damaged because of force majeure, e.g. earthquakes, floods, fires or a war.

Insurance of investments abroad:

• protects your business against political risk;
• provides the indemnity (guaranteed by the State Treasury);
• covers up to 90% of the value of the investment;
• comprises nearly 200 countries worldwide;
• covers an investment period even up to 15 years.

The insurance encompasses investments that are:

• new;
• long-term;
• comply with the binding and applicable law in the country of the investment at the time of carrying out the investment.

Direct investment abroad which qualifies to insurance protection includes:

• acquisition of a foreign company or its organised part;
• establishment of a company abroad (including branches and representative offices);
• allocation of funds to extending operations of an existing representative office;
• performance of additional contributions and granting of loans by shareholders;
• acquisition of real estate and other fixed assets.
