On the occasion of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Swiss Re held a roundtable debate to discuss solutions to bridging the financing gaps that governments and individuals around the world can experience in the wake of a natural disaster, or the newer challenge of rising pension costs.

The debate, moderated by Nik Gowing, international broadcaster and journalist, drew a full room of people to listen to and interact with the panelists: Ernesto Cordero, Minister of Finance Mexico; Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Managing Director World Bank; Lord Hutton, Chair of the Independent Public Pensions Commission in the UK, and Michel Liès, Chairman Global Partnerships, Swiss Re.

Anne Hastings, the CEO of Fonkoze, Haiti's largest micro-finance organization shared information from the floor about a new insurance scheme that has just been rolled out.
