This product was developed in response to the government’s vision to upscale infrastructure development. The Surety insurance provides an assurance to the project owner in the form of a Surety Bond that the contractor would complete the project as per the agreed terms and conditions. The product is designed to insure the contractors for non-performance and financial exposures in case of contractual default. It helps in ensuring the contractors fulfil their obligations in the projects awarded, thereby providing financial security to the beneficiary. By providing project owners with peace of mind on individual projects, surety bonds help to promote successful and efficient project outcomes.
