Natural DisastersE l
Ex-ante risk financing by insurance Ex-post loss financing
Costs pre-event Premium payment causes opportunity costs -Example:Ex-ante vs. Ex-post
Costs pre event Premium payment causes opportunity costs
Benefits post-event • Funds available immediately (2-6 weeks)• Low covariant risk as risk is transferred
out of the country• Financial and economic stability (+socio-
economic)
-
)
Costs post-event Limited up to Retention • Instability of foreign financing• Time lag and delay in financing
reconstruction• Opportunity costs of diverting• Long-term developmental impacts (if
financing gap)financing gap)• borrowing increases debt (inflation,
interest rates, etc.)
Incentive for mitigation Yes No
Additi l A ti t t P i t tAdditional • Active strategy• Risk of insurer going bankrupt• Avoidance of diversion of government
resources from other important objectives
• Passive strategy• Controversial for international donor
community demanding for more „ex-ante“ initiatives

Example of government cover ( CCRIF)4 Macro Scale
Background
High exposure to a variety of adverse natural events
The primary objective of this facility is to provide immediate liquidity to the affected
fLimited economic resilience to disasters because of small size and limited borrowing capacityDependence on financing from
country after a major natural catastropheRapid, simple and transparent assessment of policy payout amountDiversification of risk and better access to Dependence on financing from
international donors to finance post-disaster needsLimited access to insurance and
markets through pooling across the regionHighest standards of governance and operations and lowest possible operational

Three variables are chosen by each country separately for each peril• Attachment point (in index units)Attachment point (in index units)• Exhaustion point (in index units)• Insured Share
Insured share is limited to a maximum of 50%
Attachment cannot go below 20-yr return period, which allows for Facility to act as a tr e Cat ins reras a true Cat insurer
Exhaustion cannot go above 150-yr return period; this ensures that the parametric index works effectively (above this return period basis risk becomesparametric index works effectively (above this return period, basis risk becomes unacceptably high)

Catastrophe Insurance
Pools are important features of the risk management scheme for countries with a high exposure to NatCat risks
solutions Wrap-up
sc e e o cou t es t a g e posu e to atCat s s
The design of the individual solution (legal framework, institutional structure, terms and conditions, risk financing strategy etc.) is the crucial point of success
Peak risks are borne by reinsurance companies
a PPP combination of a pool and a sovereign cover is advisable for vulnerable countries
