Launched at the 2018 World Bank-IMF Annual Meetings. Expected donor contributions of over US$145M to invest in establishing and scaling up pre-arranged crisis risk financing instruments, including market-based instruments, and the systems that enable better response.
Over time the GRiF will test and scale up new financial solutions to cover a wider range of crises, including in support of the World Bank’s Global Crisis Risk Platform.
