This is the third year that the Centre for Disaster Protection has published its flagship report, and this year it goes further than ever before.

Unprecedented levels of information sharing have enabled a significantly more detailed, instrument-specific understanding.

As a result, this year’s findings give us the most comprehensive and up-to-date picture yet of how PAF is working at global level.

Key Findings

Pre-arranged finance reached an all-time high of USD9.4 billion in 2024, with growth across all country groupings and types.
