Why are risk-pricing discussions prohibited?

Risk-pricing discussions are prohibited because they can overlap with insurance pricing, credit pricing, investment pricing, market pricing, actuarial pricing, and commercial pricing strategy. 

GRA may discuss risk drivers, hazard exposure, resilience measures, protection gaps, evidence needs, loss pathways, and systemic dependencies. But participants must not discuss how a specific insurer prices a risk, how a bank prices credit, how an investor prices assets, how a reinsurer prices capacity, how a broker prices placement, or how a provider prices services. 

Risk-pricing can be especially sensitive when competitors are present. Even generalized comments about expected price movements, pricing thresholds, minimum acceptable returns, premium adequacy, credit spreads, or market pricing intentions can create risk. 

GRA should keep discussion at the level of readiness, evidence, and system understanding. For example, participants may discuss what data is needed to understand flood exposure or cyber-physical dependency. They should not discuss what premium, spread, fee, or required return should apply. 

Risk understanding is allowed. Risk pricing is not.
