1、MIGA的外部挑战和机遇的外部挑战和机遇 The political risk investment insurance industry has been growing rapidly at the rate of 20-40 percent a year.However,the industry growth is susceptible to volatility due to the cyclical nature of the insurance business and/or potential occurrence of major claims and losses by i

14、 undergone a significant evolution.In this new industry environment,it would be worthwhile for MIGA to examine some unexplored areas of activity.Under MIGAs Convention and Operational Regulations,there are unexplored areas that MIGA can pursue in the long term(possibly in partnership with the privat
15、e sector)for which positive developmental impact could be expected.Some examples may include insurance for non-commercial risks other than political risk,reinsurance for private insurers,and research and knowledge dissemination.Exhibit 1:Comments on the Industrys Rapid GrowthThe political risk insur

38、 insurance schemes are less developed.(a)Over 70 percent of investors surveyed in the United States and in Europe showed unaided awareness of MIGA,two to three times higher than the awareness of well-known private insurers such as AIG and Lloyds of London(Exhibit 30).(“Unaided”awareness means the fi

47、lopment and improvement of these advantages will be especially important for three reasons:First,the potential expectations of MIGA by investment promotion intermediaries are high,as demonstrated in strong interest by non-users of MIGA services.Second,most of these intermediaries,especially those th
48、at are relatively new and inexperienced,still do not clearly recognize which organization is the best provider of technical assistance for their particular needs.Third,MIGA should continue to differentiate its services from those provided by other agencies such as FIAS and UN organizations,so that t
