The public-private insurance system in Spain
The main risk-related policies in Spain are implemented within the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The Spanish risk management system is dominated by public insurance and two main policy issues: the contribution of the public/private insurance partnership and their information sharing arrangement to improve market efficiency; and the role of the insurance system as a device for catastrophic assistance. This policy analysis is part of a larger report structured around three layers of risk – normal, market and catastrophic – that require differentiated policy responses.
