Political risk in capital budgeting

How would you include political risk within the capital budgeting process of foreign investment projects?

E

Expert

Verified

One method is to regulate the capital cost upward to reflect the political risk and discount expected future cash flows at the higher rate. Otherwise, one may subtract insurance premium for political risk from expected future cash flows and utilize the usual capital cost that is applied into the domestic capital budgeting.
