John B.Caouette, Vice Chairman of MBIA, will head up the company’s international market development efforts. “We believe that our international business is one of the most critical long-term growth areas for MBIA,” he said.
Triple A rated MBIA “provides financial guarantees for international infrastructure and project financings, local government issues, asset securitisations and structured finance transactions and obligations of sovereigns.”
Financial guarantee insurance from companies like MBIA greatly increase the marketability of securities and reduce the costs of such borrowings.
