BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Pooled disaster insurance facility for APEC members proposed

May 04, 2015 Reprints

A pooled insurance facility to cover natural disasters has been proposed for the 21 member countries of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, reports Asia Insurance Review citing ABS-CBN.

Such an insurance facility would help the region because accessing insurance against calamities might be costly for a single nation, said Richard Poulter, a World Bank official. Member nations of APEC could pool their disaster risks and then access insurance collectively from an international insurance provider, added Mr. Poulter.
