Terrorism Risk Insurance ProgramTRIA Illusions
1. TRIA provides broad coverage with no
limitation on coverage for NBCR.
2. TRIA provides a backstop of US$ 100
billion in federal monies per year.
3. TRIA will provide marketing conditions
so that at expiration, the insurance
and reinsurance industries will have
evolved into a vigorous private sector
provider of terrorism coverage.
7
Terrorism Risk Insurance ProgramTRIEA 2005 Primer/Review
1. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) of 2002 was extended by
amendment on December 26, 2005. The Terrorism Risk Extension Act
(TRIEA) expired effective 12/31/07.
2. TRIA required insurance carriers to “make” terrorism risk insurance
“available” in its Property & Casualty policies.
3. TRIA is triggered when the Treasury Secretary, in concurrence with the
Secretary of State and the Attorney General, certifies that an incident meets
the TRIA definition of an act of terrorism.
4. To be certified for federal funding, an event must cause at least $100 million
in aggregate property and casualty insurance losses, have been perpetrated
by a foreign person or on behalf of a foreign interest, and take place on U.S.
soil.
8
Terrorism Risk Insurance ProgramTRIEA 2005 Primer/Review
1. Each participating insurer is responsible for paying out a certain amount in
claims – a 20% deductible – before Federal assistance becomes available.
2. For losses above a company’s deductible, the federal government will cover
85%, while the insurance carrier contributes 15% in “coinsurance.
3. For 2007, the aggregate insurance industry deductible is $27.5 billion, an
increase of 66.6% since 2005.
4. Losses covered by the program are capped at $100 billion.
5. TRIA does not cover Auto, Professional Liability, Life, Health or other
Personal Lines of Insurance or Reinsurance.

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
Possible justification for a permanent
Government-industry Partnership for
Terrorism Insurance:
1. The unpredictability of Terrorism
impedes the ability of the private
insurance market to take on the
financial risk without governmental
support,
2. A government-industry partnership can
support the use of the private insurance
market to provide some terrorism
insurance, and
3. A government-industry partnership to
provide this protection is consistent
with national interests.
Thank you for your attention.
