Howden provides credit and political risk solutions for some of world's largest corporates. Our specialist broking team has extensive experience securing coverage across a wide range of sectors. That means we incorporate industry-specific requirements into the insurance contract to meet your unique risks.

Howden designs corporate solutions from the ground up, tailored to your business needs. Here are some of the building blocks.
Credit risk insurance provides cover against default by public and/or private obligors for any reason, protecting counterparty (governments, banks, or corporate institutions) exposure to both commercial and political risks.
Protection against insolvency, protracted default, and political risks on a short-term credit basis (up to 365 days) – from single requirements to large multinational portfolios of receivables.
Our policies assist in mitigating the financial consequences of a range of political risks, including (but not limited to):
- Expropriation
- Sanctions imposition
- Import/export embargoes
- Currency inconvertibility
- Political violence
- Terrorism
- Breach of contract
