Non Honoring of Sovereign Financial Obligation insurance policy

Protects lenders against losses resulting from the failure of an Arab sovereign or sub-sovereign entity to honour its financial obligation. This includes the obligations of a state-owned enterprise or a public/private joint venture, guaranteed by the government. Since NHSFO is Basel II compliant, it allows lenders to receive capital relief and to continue funding projects in DHAMAN’s member countries.
NHSFO insurance policy is available for tenors of up to 15-20 years. The compensation rate stands for 95% of principal and interest.
