Political risk

Political risks include extraordinary government measures or political events such as war, revolution, annexation and civil unrest abroad or domestic government measures (export prohibitions).

Depending on the insurance product, SERV can cover the risk that political causes will make it impossible or impracticable to continue manufacturing or shipping goods and services, that goods will be confiscated abroad, or that a claim cannot be settled.
