Business Overview & Financial Data FY23

Guarantee Portfolio Exposure
In FY23, as multiple global crises continued to threaten economic development, MIGA delivered a program of $6.4 billion in new guarantees, the most in a year since the Agency was founded. This year, almost all of MIGA’s projects supported at least one of its three priority areas: 27 percent of gross issuances went to IDA-eligible countries, 19 percent went to fragile and conflict-affected countries, and 28 percent of the total guaranteed investment of the projects contributed to climate finance. MIGA’s gross outstanding exposure stands at almost $28 billion and net exposure at $9.5 billion.

Reinsurance

Since 1997, MIGA has successfully used reinsurance as a tool to use its capital efficiently and manage the risk profile of its portfolio. The primary benefits of reinsurance accrue to MIGA’s clients—first, to the investors, who gain access to increased capacity to insure eligible projects in developing countries; and second, to client countries, which benefit from larger amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI).

The Agency continues to make use of the reinsurance market, ceding $5 billion of new business to its reinsurance partners during FY23 in line with the strategy of preserving capital to support growth. As of June 30, 2023, 64.6 percent of the outstanding gross portfolio was reinsured, up from 61.9 percent in FY22.
