The purpose of this application is to ensure that the investment is registered with MIGA before it is made or irrevocably committed. Upon acceptance, a Notice of Registration will be issued. This notice does not constitute a commitment either by MIGA to offer a guarantee or by the applicant to accept such a guarantee. MIGA will treat all information contained in this application as confidential, and will not disclose it outside the agency except with the applicant's consent.

ELIGIBLE INVESTMENTS
The following is a summary of MIGA's rules on eligibility pertaining to investments and applicants. Other types of investments might qualify for MIGA's coverage.

 State-owned corporations if they operate on a commercial basis.
 Nationals of the host country or juridical persons incorporated in said host country or whose capital is majority-owned by its nationals, provided that the invested assets are transferred from outside the host country.

For all MIGA projects for which a Definitive Application is filed, new MIGA Sanctions Procedures will be applied to sanction corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive and obstructive practices in connection with projects guaranteed by MIGA.
