Governments are acting as insurers of last resort, providing liquidity to both individuals and corporations in dire straits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In these perilous times, the insurance sector itself will also be paying out claims, whether it\u2019s to people who have experienced damage to life or property or to businesses and even to sovereign countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Insurance companies are designed to bring order and stability to precarious financial situations and they have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissre.com\/media\/news-releases\/nr-20190704-sigma-3-2019.html\">the wherewithal<\/a>\u00a0to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Catastrophe bonds<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Like other financial players that have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1146\/annurev-soc-073014-112402\">embraced innovation<\/a>\u00a0in recent years, insurers too have developed novel tools and products. One such innovation is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cabinetmagazine.org\/issues\/57\/burnett.php\">catastrophe bonds<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A catastrophe bond provides the issuer (usually either an insurer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/corporatefinanceinstitute.com\/resources\/knowledge\/finance\/reinsurance-companies\/\">or a reinsurer<\/a>) with financial protection in case of a major catastrophe. Most catastrophe bonds cover extreme natural events such as hurricanes or earthquakes, but some bonds cover pandemics like the one the world is facing now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In effect, when employing catastrophe bonds, insurers can access capital from large asset owners such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0e8a195c-a91e-11e2-bcfb-00144feabdc0\">pension funds<\/a>\u00a0and other institutional investors. Insurers need this extra layer of protection for themselves, because catastrophes typically hit a region very abruptly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This means that when a major disaster strikes, large amounts of money need to be disbursed suddenly, threatening the insurer with insolvency. Asset owners are willing to provide this coverage \u2014 for a premium,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2014-06-17\/buffett-warning-unheeded-as-catastrophe-bond-sales-climb\">often hefty<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 because it can be an effective diversification strategy: earthquakes, hurricanes and pandemics are essentially unrelated to global economic trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Catastrophe bonds are very specific in terms of the coverage they provide. Like other insurance products, they are binding contracts that specify exactly what perils are covered and when the funds are released or \u201ctriggered.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For instance,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artemis.bm\/deal-directory\/sierra-ltd-series-2019-1\/\">a catastrophe bond can be triggered if an earthquake of a certain magnitude occurs in a specific region on the U.S. West Coast within three years<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Alternatively, a bond might be triggered to recoup some of the insurance payouts following the catastrophe, but only if they\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/citeseerx.ist.psu.edu\/viewdoc\/download?doi=10.1.1.474.9651\">exceed a certain pre-defined dollar threshold<\/a>. As in regular reinsurance, catastrophe bonds provide payouts\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/what-tranche\/\">in tranches<\/a>, for example to cover the losses incurred by the issuer after the first $2 billion in losses, up until $2.3 billion in losses, following a specific extreme event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To date, 1,069 distinct bonds within\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artemis.bm\/dashboard\/cat-bonds-ils-cumulative-issuance\/\">648 offerings have been issued<\/a>\u00a0since the first one in 1997.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The first pandemic bond was issued in 2003, when Swiss Re floated a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artemis.bm\/deal-directory\/vita-capital-ltd\/\">US$400 million offering<\/a>\u00a0to provide coverage against extreme mortality events such as war, terrorism, pandemics or nuclear attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The bond would trigger if the mortality index (which measures annual general mortality in five countries, the U.S., the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and Italy) exceeded 130 per cent of its baseline due to any of these scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Since then, a total of 27 additional catastrophe bonds have been issued with a pandemic component. To date, none of them have been triggered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Who benefits when catastrophe strikes?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The use of catastrophe bonds, perhaps unsurprisingly, is controversial. One critique emphasizes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177%2F0308518X15594800\">the huge uncertainty inherent in attempting to quantify what are, by definition, very rare, unpredictable events<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/global.oup.com\/academic\/product\/making-a-market-for-acts-of-god-9780199664764\">Others have noted that catastrophe modelling<\/a>\u00a0is problematic in that it harnesses tacit knowledge shared within closed, opaque communities. In our research, we discovered that catastrophe models don\u2019t function any better than guesswork, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5465\/amd.2018.0137\">seem to have become popular mainly because of the absence of high-return options in more traditional stocks and corporate bonds<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This controversy seems to be especially acute for pandemic bonds. For example, opining about the latest bond with a pandemic component \u2014 the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF) sponsored by the World Bank \u2014 Lawrence Summers, the former U.S. treasury secretary, went so far as to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/20200226-coronavirus-pandemic-bonds\">call it is \u201cgoofy\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and an \u201cembarrassing mistake.\u201d After reading the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pubdocs.worldbank.org\/en\/882831509568634367\/PEF-Final-Prospectus-PEF.pdf\">386-page prospectus<\/a>, we agree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">That\u2019s because, from a public welfare perspective \u2014 as we are all learning now \u2014 the speediness of response\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/03\/10\/business\/economy\/coronavirus-recession-policy.html\">is crucial<\/a>. The PEF states clearly in the prospectus that its purpose is \u201cto help prevent rare, high-severity disease outbreaks from becoming pandemics.\u201d This means that it should trigger and pay out before a disease like COVID-19 becomes a pandemic, not after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In conclusion, some healthy skepticism is warranted when considering the social value of catastrophe bonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Conceptually, they can be a useful financial tool, but the devil is in the details: What exactly is written in the fine print? How accurately is the risk modelled? How big are the payouts to investors? How quickly are the funds disbursed?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A bond triggered by a World Health Organization declaration of a pandemic, with immediate payouts and large sums of money available, would be a bond with high social value. A bond that provides too little money too late \u2014 or none at all \u2014 is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177%2F1476127009355857\">just financialization<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicaffairsbooks.com\/titles\/mariana-mazzucato\/the-value-of-everything\/9781610396745\/\">run amok<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Bloggers: Dror Etzion, McGill University Bernard Forgues, EM Lyon Emmanuel Kypraios, National University of Ireland Maynooth Countries around the world\u00a0are taking unprecedented\u00a0action to stem financial collapse due to COVID-19. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pandemic bonds: The financial cure we need for\u00a0COVID-19?
