| Summary: | This study presents options for disaster
risk financing in Brazil, drawing from international
experience. The study presents a series of complementary
options for disaster risk financing, based on a preliminary
fiscal risk analysis and a preliminary review of the current
budget management of natural disasters in Brazil. It
benefits from the international experience of the World
Bank, which has provided assistance to several countries on
the design and implementation ofsovereign disaster risk
financing strategies (e.g. Mexico, Colombia, Peru,
Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Pakistan and the Caribbean
island states). This experience is tailored to the
extensive risk profile and institutional, social and
economic characteristics of Brazil, as well as to the
availability of relevant data. |
