Political Violence Insurance: Is Your Business Exposed?
As geopolitical tensions continue to rise, many businesses remain unaware that standard property policies often exclude losses caused by terrorism, strikes, or civil unrest.
In 2023, global insured losses from political violence events exceeded $2.5 billion. More recent 2024 industry risk reports recorded over 80,000 protest and riot incidents across the 20 most affected countries, highlighting the growing frequency of civil unrest worldwide. Over the past decade, insured losses linked to strikes, riots, and civil commotion have surpassed $10 billion globally.
For businesses operating in the Middle East, these risks are not theoretical. Protests, border tensions, and politically motivated disruptions can damage property, interrupt operations, and delay supply chains,sometimes for months.
Political violence insurance is designed to close this protection gap. Coverage typically includes:
- Terrorism and sabotage
- Strikes and civil unrest
- Malicious damage
For sectors such as retail, logistics, real estate, and critical infrastructure, the financial impact extends far beyond physical damage. Lost revenue, ongoing expenses, and reputational consequences can significantly affect long-term stability.
We help you assess your exposure and structure coverage that protects your business against the unpredictable.
