Maxwell School, Peer to Peer Political Risk Insurance: Investing in Emerging Markets and Developing Countries...or not Maurice Sarr, EMPA candidate Political Risk Insurance (PRI) is a challenging concept. Organizations need to assess the political and financial risk of entering into an agreement with a government or organization within a country where investments could potentially be precarious. PRI assesses this potential risk, evaluating the situation on many levels. In order for insurance to take place, you need somebody who rates the risk high enough to be willing to have it covered (the insured) and somebody else who rates it low enough to be willing to cover it (the underwriter). In the mix, you also have the brokers, market distortions, national and international legal constraints among other issues. Mr. Maurice Lucas Sarr is an EMPA candidate seeking to improve his financial analysis skills while studying at Maxwell. Most recently, he served as the head of business development and senior broker specializing in international trade credit and political risk insurance with PLATUS. Mr. Sarr is particularly interested in learning public resources management, financial management skills, and ethics in public policy. After graduating from Maxwell, he intends to use his expertise to develop infrastructure in Senegal and other African countries. Mr. Sarr holds a master's degree from Jean Moulin University Lyon, received the agrégation (the French highest teaching certificate) in philosophy, and specialized in international risk management at HEC Paris.
