Premium Base Rates
Rates may fall outside of the ranges shown in the tables, depending on the risk profile of the project. The ranges shown also are subject to change without notice. Once an insurance contract is executed, the rates are fixed for the life of the contract. OPIC insurance contracts generally require that premiums be paid annually in advance.
OPIC insurance may not be available for certain coverages, or there may be limitations for underwriting or other reasons. Investors should consult the country list page regarding availability in particular countries.
