     Summary

Catastrophe risk and reinsurance: A country risk management perspective offers the reader invaluable insights into catastrophe reinsurance and risk management expertise gained from many of the largest international catastrophe risk transfer programmes. Drawing on material from a recent World Bank conference, Eugene N. Gurenko assembles some of the foremost reinsurance and risk management experts from industry and academia. The chapters thoroughly explore subjects such as country risk assessment, risk modeling, risk transfer methods and national reinsurance. The book outlines the key challenges involved in building national catastrophe insurance schemes and suggests how disaster-prone countries can manage their exposures to reduce the cost of risk by following the classical corporate risk management model.
