From the supplier: Several market forces will shape the future of the insurance industry. Securitization of catastrophe risk and tax policy changes, for example, may reduce the costs of providing catastrophe insurance coverage. Catastrophe reinsurance reduces the amount of capital needed to provide coverage and protect the franchise value of insurance companies. The government can boost the capacity of catastrophe insurance and reinsurance by allowing insurance companies to accumulate tax-sheltered reserves for the purpose of financing catastrophe losses.
