The Inter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation is a regional organization similar to the World Bank's MIGA, and comprises all Arab states. IAIGC provides export credit guarantees against both political and commercial risks, investment guarantees (political risk only), and insurance coverage for Arab investments and inter-Arab trade transactions. It also undertakes investment promotion activities among Arab countries.

IAIGC recently announced an extension of its guarantee program to include both the commercial and non-commercial risks associated with leasing transactions within the Arab world. The training course was organized to better familiarize the staff of IAIGC and other cooperating institutions as to the nature and characteristics of leasing and the leasing industry.
