If companies invest in one of the 34 listed countries, thedeductible for the firms in the event of a loss will be halved. In addition,the warranty fees will also be reduced.

The 34 destinations consist of Vietnam, India, Indonesia,Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand (South/Southeast Asia); Georgia,Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (the Caucasus/Central Asia); Argentina, Brazil,Chile, Colombia and Peru (South America); Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo,Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey (Europe); and Egypt, Algeria,Ethiopia, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo, SouthAfrica and Tunisia (Africa).

Investment guarantees are centralto the foreign trade policy of Germany. If a company invests in adeveloping or emerging country, it can apply for insurance from the Federal Government. Ifthe company has to write off its investment due to expropriation, war or lawviolation in the country of its investment, the German Government willreimburse most of the loss.
