Following the particularly devastating 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season, CCRIF SPC announced that payouts surpassed USD130 million (mn) since its inception. In 2017, CCRIF SPC made payments of approximately USD1.5 mn, which includes USD30.8 mn for Hurricane Irma and USD23.6 mn for Hurricane Maria. Countries which received payouts included: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Dominica, Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Following a period of heavy rainfall between October 18 and 20 2017 Trinidad and Tobago received a payout of approximately USD7.1mn on its Excess Rainfall policy. Each payout was made within 14 days of the event.
In 2007, CCRIF SPC became the world’s first multi-country risk pool. Created to assist Caribbean governments with recovery efforts in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, the Facility opened membership to Central American countries in 2015. Now CCRIF SPC includes 16 Caribbean members and Nicaragua.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

3. FISCAL IMPACTS AFTER A NATURAL DISASTER
•Following a natural disaster, governments face:
-a smaller revenue base due to decreased economic activity; and
-rising expenditures for emergency relief and recovery operations
•Resources often need to be diverted from other economic priorities to fund disaster relief and recovery, so planned strategic investment (eg. infrastructures) are postponed
•Most governments do not have sufficient access to insurance against natural disasters due to high costs and limited insurance industry capacity to absorb the risks

•Tariffs on imports and exports

•Income, value-added, and property taxes

9. DESIGN OF FISCAL RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

•Government analyzes alternatives for managing risk (ideally net risk, by netting assets and liabilities) at different government levels, taking into account:
-Risk avoidance/reduction using policy measures
-Risk retention
-Risk transfer
-Coherence with macroeconomic policy
-Potential constraints (e.g. financial market)
-Institutional capacity for risk management strategy design and implementation
12. RISK LAYERING APPROACH
•No single financial product can mitigate disaster risk completely
•A “bottom-up” approach allows borrowers to select an optimal mix of instruments based on:
desired coverage
available budget
cost efficiency
•Reserves continue to be a key financing source for recurring events

15. POTENTIAL SOURCES OF RISK TRANSFER
Countries may have the ability to tap into both traditional re-insurance and capital markets
The traditional re-insurance market is a well-established segment leveraging on:
•Portfolio diversification
•Flexible execution
•Standardized documentation
The capital markets is becoming more and more competitive with pricing often below re-insurance leveraging on:
•Broader investor base
•Diversification appeal for new perils for dedicated cat investors
•Ability to lock in rates for multiple years

17. CAT SWAP
Cat Swaps are the simplest vehicle used by the Bank to transfer risks to the reinsurance sector
Cat swaps are parametric risk insurance transfer vehicles, used so far to transfer catastrophe risk including earthquakes, wind and, just lately, tsunami
The Bank has used Cat Swaps under the CCRIF and the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Pilot programs
Ideal for smaller risks or for risk pooling
Low legal and documentation costs, but generally short maturities
Contrary to cat bonds, cat swaps introduce counterparty credit risk. Thus far IBRD has signed only one ISDA with a reinsurer

* Atlantic Wind is not presented here because it is unique peril with high market multiples given the correlation to US Wind
A multipleis the ratio of the insurance premium and the annual expected losses of the assumed peril. It is a simple statistic to compare the price efficiency of different risk transfer alternatives
Insurance premiums are the sum of:
1.The pure model risk
2.Capital costs
3.Transaction Costs
22. ISSUANCE TRENDS
21
The cat bond market continues to offer very attractive opportunities to obtain risk coverage -especially for sponsors that can bring new perils to the market:
Expanding Investor Base
Continued search for Higher Yields driven by low interest rates
Appeal of Uncorrelated Assets
Diversification appeal of new perils for dedicated cat investors
Ability to lock in rates for multiple years
23. OUTSTANDING BY REGION
22
Cat bond investors are heavily exposed to natural disasters in a few developed countries (mainly US, Japan and EU)
This exposure is the same one seen in the traditional insurance market
Cat bonds linked to natural disasters in emerging countries will allow portfolio diversification to these investors
26. MULTICATISSUE
MultiCatStructure
The coverage sourced through the MultiCatis passed to the Insured through an insurance company
Proceeds of the cat bond are kept in a collateral account invested in US Treasuries or other AAA liquid assets

28. ACCESSING TRADITIONAL RE-INSURANCE
Countries could transfer catastrophe risk to the traditional re-insurance market directly or via IBRD or a local re-insurer, depending on the legal and regulatory requirements
Given the size of the transaction, the Country may need to transact with multiple reinsurers
The insurance contract with the re-insurance markets could be funded or unfunded

29. ACCESSING CAPITAL MARKETS

Countries could issue a cat bond in two forms:
a) Cat Bond issued by Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) sponsored by the Country
b) Cat Bond issued by IBRD linked to the Country catastrophe risk
The main difference between the two alternatives is that under IBRD cat bond much of the legal and technical work will be done by the World Bank Treasury, thus significantly simplifying the whole transaction
IBRD cat bond would be probably more cost effective with less transaction costs

30. OTHER ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED
•Issuance Format: When an issue will be purchased entirely by a small pool of sophisticated investors, a “RegD” format can be considered.
Pro: RegD issuance reduces costs significantly because it requires very little in the way of disclosure/documentation and no credit rating.
Con: RegD issues permit only limited transferability and can only be sold to highly specialized investors who can perform their own analysis and do not require a credit rating.
•Collateral: As an alternative to traditional collateral of Treasury money market funds, a World Bank putablefloater can be used.
•Use of MultiCatProgram: For any issue by a SPV, the SPV could be established under the MultiCatProgram and carry the MultiCatbrand.
29
32. WORLD BANK CAPITAL AT RISK NOTES PROGRAM
31
The World Bank Capital at Risk Notes program facilitates risk transfer solutions for the World Bank and its clients using the capital markets
Under this program, the World Bank issues notes where some or all of the investors’ principal may be at risk, such as catastrophe bonds ('cat bonds')
Capital at Risk Notes are issued under the World Bank’s Global Debt Issuance Facility and receive the same tax and securities law exemptions, but they may not be assigned any security rating or may be assigned a lower security rating than the Facility
Benefits to investors:
Potential yield enhancement
Opportunity to include new perils and regions to diversify portfolios
