Nepal Explores New Disaster Financing and Investment Risk Instruments

Nepal's agreement with the World Bank to explore an earthquake catastrophe bond has created a new area of potential financial structuring work. The proposed instrument would be assessed for its ability to provide rapid funding following a major earthquake and strengthen the country's financial resilience. Financial advisers, insurers and institutional investors require catastrophe-risk modelling, valuation analysis and transaction structuring to assess innovative financing arrangements. HPC supports corporate finance teams with financial modelling, asset valuation and transaction structuring for complex deals at a project cost of $920,000.
