GRA is a nonprofit business league for the financial services industry. It does not lend, underwrite, rate, invest, advise on or arrange transactions, and readiness work is not approval.
Disaster Risk Finance topics, and the question each answers.
- Disaster risk layering explainedThe questionNo single instrument pays for every disaster at reasonable cost.
- Sovereign disaster contingent liabilitiesThe questionWhen disaster strikes, governments pay for relief, reconstruction of public assets, support to households and firms, and sometimes losses of state enterprises and banks.
- Sovereign insurance and risk poolsThe questionInsurance moves part of disaster cost from governments and households to insurers and capital markets.
- Anticipatory finance and early actionThe questionAnticipatory finance releases money on a forecast, before a flood, cyclone or drought strikes, so that people can evacuate, protect assets or receive cash before losses peak.
- Post-disaster financing sourcesThe questionAfter a disaster, governments assemble money from many sources: budget reallocation, contingency funds, emergency loans, insurance payments, humanitarian appeals, debt service pauses and reconstruction grants.
- Resilient public investmentThe questionThe cheapest disaster to finance is the one that causes less damage.
- Disaster finance diligence and evidenceThe questionEvery disaster finance decision rests on evidence: risk models, loss data, exposure, forecast skill and evaluations of past instruments.
- Disaster finance governanceThe questionDisaster money must move fast and still be accountable.
Topic pages in Disaster Risk Finance share one structure: mechanisms, indicators, sources, methods, decisions and limits, written for ministry of finance risk units and disaster management agencies.
