After TRIA Goes Away: With The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act Due To Expire In 2005, Insurers And Policyholders Must Develop Long-Term Solutions That Deliver Financial Stability And Accountability
Key Points
* The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act will expire on Dec. 31, 2005.
* Insurers must create and support a new, long-term back-stop solution.
* An alternative to TRIA is to require terrorism coverage as part of all property/casualty policies.
The debate over whether the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act will expire on Dec. 31, 2005, or be extended only postpones the inevitable--what comes after and will the markets and policyholders be ready?
