The Iron and Steel industry has investments in many countries. To protect these investments from potential damage during periods of unrest in those countries, it is necessary to secure insurance, particularly in politically risky regions. The need for indemnification of damages arises in such cases. Knowing that these investments will not suffer losses when a risk environment emerges can facilitate investment decisions.
Minimizing risks allows investors to make investment decisions more easily. Insurance plays a crucial role in establishing a reliable supply chain mechanism.
