    ADDRESSING THE PROTECTION GAP FOR PANDEMIC RISK: FINDING A WAY FORWARD In collaboration with: Please cite this publication as: OECD (2021), Addressing the Protection Gap for Pandemic Risk: Finding a Way Forward, https://www.oecd.org/finance/insurance/addressing-protection-gap-pandemic-risk.htm This document is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD.

As a result, insurers and reinsurers are ensuring that exclusions of pandemic risk are unambiguous in future contracts across several lines of business with implications for the recovery of many sectors that depend on such coverage. • (Re)insurers and brokers around the world have developed pandemic insurance frameworks and are engaging in discussions about the structure of a potential public-private partnership program for future events. The proposals rely on significant government support, but acknowledge a role for the insurance sector and insurance buyers.
