Overseas Private Investment Corporation5 Scenario One: I am a U.S. company exporting frozen food products to West Africa. I need to build a cold storage facility in the region to maintain overseas inventory and grow my regional distribution network. I am seeking a long-term loan to be secured by the overseas collateral, but my bank can’t help me. Where can I find an overseas project finance loan? Scenario Two: I am a housing developer who has won a contract with the Ministry of Housing in a Central American country to build 2,000 homes for the country’s growing middle-class. I am seeking a construction and development loan to build out the site infrastructure and construct the first 500 units. Where can I get this type of financing? Financing Scenarios

Overseas Private Investment Corporation7 Political Risk Scenarios Scenario One: I am a U.S. company that grows, processes, and exports tea leaves from East Africa. A history of political violence plagues the country and I am fearful that an outbreak of violence during the upcoming elections could result in damage to our facilities, or perhaps disrupt the transportation infrastructure so that I cannot get my goods to market. How can I protect my company against such risks? Scenario Two: I am a U.S. renewable energy developer building a solar farm in Southeast Asia. I rely on a Feed-In Tariff approved by the government to guarantee a price “floor” for the power I produce. I am concerned that if another political party wins the election, the new government may slash the feed-in tariff rates. Also, I have a contract with a government-owned utility to buy my power, but I worry what will happen if the government abrogates the contract. How do I protect my company against such regulatory and expropriatory risks?
