[摘要]作为巨灾风险高发国家,我国面临着严峻的巨灾风险挑战。目前,我国巨灾保险制度还不完善,保险业在巨灾救助体系中的作用还不突出,巨灾保险供需之间的矛盾十分明显,社会对于巨灾风险的投保意识十分欠缺。应对巨灾风险,应根据国情,并认真参考国外成熟经验,建立起以政府推动与政府支持为主导、以市场化运作为基本手段、多方参与应对分散风险、巨灾保障面广泛的运行稳健的巨灾保险制度体系。 [关键词]巨灾风险制度;政府主导;市场化运作 [中图分类号]F840.64[文献标识码]A[文章编号]1004-3306(2008)07-0018-02 Abstract:As a country prone to catastrophe risks, China is facing with grave challenges in this aspect. At the time being, China’s catastrophe insurance system is far from being adequate. The insurance industry is playing a very small role in the catastrophe relief system and the demand for and supply of catastrophe insurance is seriously mismatched. Moreover, public awareness for catastrophe insurance is quite low. To counter against catastrophe risks, China should learn from foreign experiences and on the basis of specific domestic situations, establish a stable catastrophe insurance system that covers a wide array of catastrophe risks and operates in a marketoriented manner with strong government support and promotion and multiparty participation for purpose of risk spread. Key words:catastrophe insurance system; government leadership; marketoriented operation.
