In addition, the agency provides information on investment opportunities and technical assistance to investors and member states; it also mediates investment disputes and administers claims. As of 2001, MIGA had issued more than 500 guarantees, providing more than $7.7 billion in coverage, and facilitating nearly $39 billion in investment.
