Regional Trends: Central Asia faces significant disaster risks due to floods and earthquakes. Disaster risk finance varies across countries, with weak institutional frameworks and low insurance penetration. A regional disaster risk transfer facility offers potential solutions.

Country Analyses:

• Countries are categorized into four groups based on disaster risk:
  • Critically insufficient financing (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan): High risks but low risk retention.
  • Weak financing (Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Uzbekistan): Moderate levels of risk retention.
  • Modest financing (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan): Good access to and risk retention instruments.
  • Insufficient data (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regions, Turkmenistan): Requires further research.

Regional Solutions: A regional risk transfer facility can provide affordable coverage before disasters, increasing resilience and reducing financial losses. It complements national flood and earthquake protection.
