3. True or false: accepting a settlement from the state in local bonds can make the covered claim disappear.

4. What does one mainly buy with a multilateral guarantee?

5. True or false: once paid, the investor sees the recourse under the bilateral treaty disappear.

6. The insured becomes subject to sanctions after its claim to payment arose. What happens to that claim under most regimes?
