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”.

Natural disaster insurance scheme in the cards

August 10, 2015 Reprints

The Insurance Federation of Egypt expects to set up a natural disaster insurance scheme in the country by the end of 2015 and is rallying the country's insurers for the same, Middle East Insurance Review reported citing Sadda news website.

The scheme would provide cover against risks like earthquakes. IFE chairman Abdel Raouf Kotb said that he had suggested that disaster insurance should be offered by insurers as a cover separate from fire and engineering policies. Difficulty in gathering information from insurers regarding natural disaster events is delaying the establishment of the scheme, said Mr. Kotb.
