Summary |
Catastrophes have had a more devastating impact on insurers over the past 15 years than in entire history of insurance. Asia, despite its rapidly developing economies and cutting-edge technological base, suffers especially high losses due to catastrophe events. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, typhoons and volcanoes affect the whole region, from the simplest infrastructures to the most complex Asian economies. Consequently Asia especially China, India and Japan, now constitutes a major growing market for catastrophe insurance.
Asian catastrophe insurance, based on the proceeding of the 1st international conference on Asian catastrophe insurance (held at Kyoto University, Japan) presents a range of perspectives on natural risk and alternative risk transfer (ART) from leading academics from Beijing, Kyoto and Cambridge University, and government and industry leaders.
With its breadth of in-depth, expert perspectives, this comprehensive book will help you to:
• learn from recent catastrophe;
• explore technological directions for enhanced modeling performance;
• increase your integration with enterprise IT system and identify opportunities for improved data management;
• assess, underwrite and manage catastrophe risk more effectively.
This book is a key reference guide for insurance and reinsurance company CEOs, CFOs, risk managers and researchers currently working in the Asian market. It will also prove a valuable resource for non-Asian companies looking to expand their international operations.
