Case Studies, Policy Response; ReferencesThis paper reviews the literature on the macroeconomic impact of natural disasters and presents the IMF’s role in assisting countries coping with natural catastrophes. Focusing on seven country cases, the paper describes the emergency financing, policy support, and technical assistance provided by the Fund to help governments put together a policy response or build a macro framework to lay the foundation for recovery and/or unlock other external financing. The literature and experience suggests there are ways to strengthen policy frameworks to increase resilience to natural disaster shocks, including identifying the risks and probability of natural disasters and integrating them more explicitly into macro frame-works, increasing flexibility within fiscal frameworks, and improving coordination amongst international partners ex post and ex ante.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/245Natural disastersEconomic aspectsDisaster reliefExports and ImportsimfInsuranceimfNatural DisastersimfClimateimfNatural Disasters and Their ManagementimfGlobal WarmingimfEnvironment and GrowthimfInternational Monetary Arrangements and InstitutionsimfForeign AidimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfInsurance CompaniesimfActuarial StudiesimfNatural disastersimfInternational economicsimfInsurance & actuarial studiesimfBalance of payments needimfDisaster aidimfEmergency assistanceimfEnvironmentimfBalance of paymentsimfForeign aidimfFinancial institutionsimfInternational reliefimfEconomic assistanceimfHaitiimfNatural disastersEconomic aspects.Disaster relief.Exports and ImportsInsuranceNatural DisastersClimateNatural Disasters and Their ManagementGlobal WarmingEnvironment and GrowthInternational Monetary Arrangements and InstitutionsForeign AidCurrent Account AdjustmentShort-term Capital MovementsInsurance CompaniesActuarial StudiesNatural disastersInternational economicsInsurance & actuarial studiesBalance of payments needDisaster aidEmergency assistanceEnvironmentBalance of paymentsForeign aidFinancial institutionsInternational reliefEconomic assistanceLaframboise Nicole1536613Loko Boileau1536614DcWaIMFBOOK9910786474603321Natural Disasters3785470UNINA
