The Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility | CCRIF, a not-for-profit company, is the first multi-country risk pool in the world

Description: CCRIF is the first multi-country risk pool in the world, and is also the first insurance instrument to successfully develop parametric policies backed by both traditional and capital markets. It is a regional catastrophe fund for Caribbean governments designed to limit the financial impact of devastating hurricanes and earthquakes by quickly providing financial liquidity when a policy is triggered. In September 2004, following the passage of Hurricane Ivan through the Caribbean region, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads of Government held an emergency meeting to discuss critical issues surrounding the need for the provision of catastrophe risk insurance for its members. Consequently, CARICOM resolved to take action and approached the World Bank for assistance to design and implement a cost-effective risk transfer programme for member governments. This marked the beginning of what would become the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility.
