The Prospect of Catastrophe Securitization in China: Recent Developments | Chapter 12 | Emerging Issues and Development in Economics and Trade Vol.4
The
purpose of this paper is to prospect catastrophe securitization in China. The
catastrophe security market is well developed in developed countries, but in
much of Asia it is in its early stages. The reason attributed for this is the
close interdependencies of corporates and insurance companies in funding their
risk exposures and the lower prevalence of sophisticated risk management
practices. However, things slowly started changing in Asia, especially in
China, with corporate recognizing that better risk management practices have a
positive affect on their financial earnings. The securitization of catastrophe
risk has the potential to rapidly alter the China’s risk management landscape.
Through development of the catastrophe security markets, policyholders can be
protected from (re)insurer’s credit risk, (re)insurers can overcome the
limitation of capacity, and investors investing capital markets can diversify
their portfolios. The growth and survival of the catastrophe security market in
China lies in coming up with the products to suit the diverse needs of various
customers and act as a close substitute for the traditional insurance market
