Does Insurance-Readiness Room feedback mean risk-transfer approval?

No. Insurance-Readiness Room feedback does not mean risk-transfer approval. 

Risk transfer may involve insurance, reinsurance, parametric insurance, catastrophe bonds, captives, risk pools, guarantees, sureties, indemnities, disaster risk finance instruments, or public-private risk-sharing structures. These arrangements require formal review, authority, documentation, pricing, legal structure, regulation, market capacity, public authority approvals where applicable, and party consent. 

An Insurance-Readiness Room may identify that a risk-transfer question exists. It may identify evidence needed for future review. It may identify that a proposed structure is premature, incomplete, unclear, or outside GRA’s scope. 

That is not approval. 

Participants must not say that a GRA room approved risk transfer, validated a parametric structure, confirmed reinsurance support, approved a captive, endorsed a risk pool, or confirmed a public-private risk-sharing arrangement. 

A readiness note may help frame questions. It does not approve the solution.
