Future Prospects: NAT CAT Risk Management in Taiwan
• To call for general public’s attention on:
• Earthquake risks
• Disaster prevention & emergency evacuation informationStrengthening public awareness on NAT CAT risks
• TREIF basic cover
• Sum Insured
• Claim criteria
• Scheme limit/structure
Ongoing improvement on the TREIF statutory scheme
• Commercial “extended” & “excess” cover assupplementary to the statutory TREIF basic cover
Encouraging innovative NAT CAT commercial insurance
2424
• Exploring new sale channels
• Studying the feasibility of making the cover compulsoryIncreasing policy take‐up on the TREIF statutory cover
• Experiences shared by New Zealand, Japan & other countries
• Info. exchanged with other national CAT insurance schemes
Enhancing information sharing and cooperation with other national catastrophe insurance schemes
