Multilateral Development Banks and Institutions

The Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility Segregated Portfolio Company, known as CCRIF SPC, is a multi-country catastrophe insurance facility founded on June 1, 2007 and headquartered in the Cayman Islands, with membership drawn from CARICOM and Caribbean Development Bank countries. Billed as the world's first multi-country risk pool, it sells parametric insurance that pays out based on measured hazard severity, such as a hurricane's wind speed or an earthquake's shaking, rather than on a damage assessment, so member governments can receive funds quickly after a disaster.
