Country risk in unprecedented times: a precedent for cross-border loan documentation?
© Copyright LexisNexis 2024. All rights reserved.
While country risk cannot be avoided in cross-border transactions entirely, it can be effectively mitigated through careful transaction structuring and tailored contractual protections. Market standard loan agreements will include a number of exit rights and cost recovery provisions which may be helpful to a lender exposed to country risk and can be negotiated to meet the needs of the particular transaction. It is important to strike a balance between the effective management of country risk for lenders, and a contractual framework that provides the borrower with the required economics and flexibility to operate with certainty.
