Financial Table 8

Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities are future costs that can be disbursed by the Agency if events or decisions beyond its control occur. The table below shows the amount of contingent liabilities that could arise from Loan Guarantees and Litigations.

Loans
The amount for loan guarantees represents loans by financial institutions that have been guaranteed by the Agency. Where financial institutions claim amounts against the guarantee, the Agency has authority to charge these payments against a statutory authority.

Claims, Pending and Threatened Litigation
Amounts captured as Litigation are claims against the Agency for damages incurred from losses suffered by outside parties.
