GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

There are a few deep-breathing multi-clause sentences that could be split. For example "The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) is an international financial institution which offers political risk insurance guarantees to help investors protect foreign direct investments made in developing countries against political risk.[1]" and "It was established in 1988 to serve as an investment insurance facility of the World Bank to help investors overcome political and other non-commercial risks and invest confidently in developing countries.[2]" - please split them
The language is tough but I think it is standard for economic articles.--Tomcat (7) 13:36, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have rephrased and split the sentences you pointed out, and also shortened and rephrased some others throughout the article. John Shandy` • talk 14:50, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a maintenance template at the top of the article that says that the article contains self-published sources. Because of this, I believe that the article could no longer remain a good article. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:11, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delist With 14 of 24 references coming from the MIGA or the World Bank Group there is too high a ratio of use of primary sources with some paragraphs only supported by primary sources.Gusfriend (talk) 05:59, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delist - uncited text, overuse of non-independent referencing, a gap of any events between 2010 and 2019, and major WP:PROSELINE issues in places. Hog Farm _Talk 03:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
