The FT-MIGA Summit: Managing Global Political Risk - Old Risks, New Moment, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), a member of the World Bank Group, will feature a combination of insightful presentations and interactive panel discussions.

Through this exclusive, invitation-only half-day event, senior public and private sector decision-makers will share their perspectives on political risk in the Middle East and North Africa, and will explore how the evolving risk landscape is being integrated into global business and investor strategies. The agenda will also look at expropriation and what motivates governments to intervene in private sector investments; and how to manage that risk.
