CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""REFERENCES""Natural disasters can put severe strain on public finances, in particular in developing and small countries. But catastrophe insurance markets increasingly offer opportunities for the transfer of such risks. Thus far, developing countries have only tepidly begun to tap these opportunities. More frequent and intensive use of insurance markets may be desirable because it could help introduce an important element of predictability in the post-disaster public finances of disaster-prone developing countries. Against this background, the paper surveys the various available insurance modalities and reviews recent initiatives in developing and emerging market countries. It also identifies some key challenges for the insurance community, donors, and international financial institutions (IFIs).IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/199Finance, PublicNatural disastersEconomic aspectsActuarial StudiesimfBondsimfCapital marketimfClimateimfEconomic Development: GeneralimfEnvironmentimfFinanceimfFinance: GeneralimfFinancial institutionsimfFinancial InstrumentsimfFinancial marketsimfFiscal Policies and Behavior of Economic Agents: GeneralimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfGlobal WarmingimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfInstitutional InvestorsimfInsurance & actuarial studiesimfInsurance CompaniesimfInsurance companiesimfInsuranceimfInternational capital marketsimfInternational Financial MarketsimfInvestment & securitiesimfInvestments: BondsimfNatural Disasters and Their ManagementimfNatural DisastersimfNatural disastersimfNon-bank Financial InstitutionsimfPension FundsimfPublic GoodsimfTaiwan Province of ChinaimfFinance, Public.Natural disastersEconomic aspects.Actuarial StudiesBondsCapital marketClimateEconomic Development: GeneralEnvironmentFinanceFinance: GeneralFinancial institutionsFinancial InstrumentsFinancial marketsFiscal Policies and Behavior of Economic Agents: GeneralGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)Global WarmingIndustries: Financial ServicesInstitutional InvestorsInsurance & actuarial studiesInsurance CompaniesInsurance companiesInsuranceInternational capital marketsInternational Financial MarketsInvestment & securitiesInvestments: BondsNatural Disasters and Their ManagementNatural DisastersNatural disastersNon-bank Financial InstitutionsPension FundsPublic GoodsHofman David1815880Brukoff Patricia1815881International Monetary Fund.Policy Development and Review Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910975151603321Insuring Public Finances Against Natural Disasters4371489UNINA
