Abstract

Political risk is any foreign/host-country government’s intervention in multinational corporations’ (MNCs) operations with different regulations that are considered from the MNC’s perspective to be discriminatory, unfair, wealth-depriving, and costly for the corporations. Political risk takes various forms, ranging from changes in tax regulations, exchange controls, stipulations of local production, expropriation, discrimination against foreign businesses, restrictions on assets, forcing local investment for their profits, restrictions on borrowing, restrictions on deposits (lately, we have experienced levy of taxes on deposits, too), to restrictions on their general operations.
