1 Catastrophic Risks and Insurance Problems and Perspectives Prof. Alberto Monti Bocconi University, Milan (Italy) VI Conference on Insurance Regulation and Supervision in Latin America Cochabamba, 2 March 2005
2 CATASTROPHIC RISKS Different Types NATURAL (e.g. hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, floods) ACCIDENTAL MAN-MADE (e.g. industrial/technological accidents) INTENTIONAL MAN-MADE (e.g. terrorism)
3 TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT Trend towards: INCREASED FREQUENCY INCREASED SEVERITY According to Swiss Re Sigma (preliminary estimates), 2004 is a record year for disaster losses, most of which due to natural catastrophes.
4 TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT TREND TOWARDS HIGHER LOSSES: Rising population densities and value concentrations Growing urbanization of exposed areas INCREASED FINANCIAL BURDEN OF DISASTERS
5 2004 SOUTHEAST ASIA TSUNAMI One of the worst natural disasters recorded in the past 100 years (over 170,000 people lost their lives). Low insurance penetration in the region Estimated total insured losses: USD 4 bn Property Life and health Travel insurance
6 INSURABILITY ISSUES NATURAL CATASTROPHES LPHC risk Low predictability (generalized uncertainty) Risk of accumulation (geographical and intertemporal spreading problems) Adverse selection Vulnerability Disaster control and mitigation strategies
7 INSURABILITY ISSUES INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS LPHC risk Information asymmetries: Moral hazard Adverse selection Monitoring and bonding devices (agency costs) Evolution of liability laws (uncertainty) recoverable damages in tort claims Disaster control and mitigation strategies
8 INSURABILITY ISSUES TERRORISM RISK Increased potential magnitude after 9/11 (capacity) Risk of accumulation (between insurance lines) High level of risk ambiguity: Dynamic uncertainty (adaptive strategies) Information issues Interdependent security (externalities) CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) attacks (long term consequences).
9 INSURABILITY ISSUES RISK MODELING Natural Catastrophes: Computer based risk models Increased predictability of natural hazards over the past decades Terrorism: Role of experts (subjective component) Game theory (adaptive strategies) Evaluation of possible loss scenarios BUT Very difficult to estimate frequency
10 FINANCIAL MARKET SOLUTIONS Securitization of Catastrophic Risks CAT BONDS (natural catastrophes): Evolution of the market since 1997 New perils / New types of sponsors (but market remains small) Triggering events (physical v. loss triggers) Immediate payoff v. Delayed payment Credit risk v. Basis risk Multi-year coverage at fixed price
11 FINANCIAL MARKET SOLUTIONS Special problems for terrorism risk Terrorism risk securitization High level of risk ambiguity (risk is changing) Multi-event triggers Future securitization might mix-and-match different risks to dilute the terrorism component GOLDEN GOAL FINANCE Ltd. (FIFA World Cup event cancellation): very low risk VITA CAPITAL Ltd. (mortality risk)
12 ROLE OF GOVERNMENTS in disaster management and compensation Disaster prevention and mitigation Ex ante v. ex post approach to compensation Post-disaster aid Samaritan s dilemma Indirect v. direct forms of intervention Government as direct insurer Government as reinsurer of last resort Government as lender of last resort
13 PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP in disaster management and compensation Roles of the public authority: providing the requisite legal framework subsidizing the cost of administering the disaster management scheme Enforcing preventive and mitigation measures Acting as reinsurer/lender of last resort Roles of the private insurance sector: proper risk assessment and risk allocation mechanisms expedite loss assessment effective surrogate regulation
14 NATURAL CATASTROPHES Examples of institutional arrangements CALIFORNIA: California Earthquake Authority (CEA) FRANCE: Cat Nat NEW ZEALAND: Earthquake Commission (EQC) SPAIN: Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros TURKEY: Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP) USA: National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
15 TERRORISM RISK Examples of institutional arrangements FRANCE: Gareat GERMANY: Extremus AG ISRAEL: Property Tax Compensation Fund SOUTH AFRICA: SASRIA Ltd. SPAIN: Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros UK: Pool Re USA: Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA)
16 CONCLUDING REMARKS Need for an integrated disaster risk management strategy (public-private partnership) Different institutional approaches Risk predictability is a key issue Enforcement of structural mitigation and vulnerability reduction measures is also crucial Adverse selection and moral hazard must be limited Settlement procedures should be expedite Capital markets solutions to increase capacity?
