a return period of 10 to 50 years would require more than US$2.5 billion per year globally (Hochrainer-Stigler et al., 2014

). This is based on the assumption that there is a cap on the maximum payment a country can receive, as is usually the case with reinsurers’ average claim payments.

Assuming there is no cap on payments that can be made to countries, the funding requirements grow dramatically, ranging from US$3.3 billion per year for a loss with a 10 to 50-year return period to more than US$20 billion per year for a loss with a 250 to 500-year return period.
