Economic
Stability
TRIA ensures US businesses can obtain the terrorism risk insurance coverage necessary to protect against the devastating consequences of a catastrophic terrorist attack.
Job
Creation
In the wake of 9/11, more than 300,000 US jobs were lost due to the lack of terrorism risk insurance in the marketplace. TRIA ensures the long-term stability of commercial property financing, construction and other job-creating industries.
Fiscal
Responsibility
TRIA has cost US taxpayers virtually nothing. Insurers and policy holders are required to bear first dollar losses and meet deductibles before the federal government steps in.
Bipartisan
Support
Congress has reauthorized TRIA three times with overwhelming, bipartisan support, most recently in January 2015.

Testimonials
“Should TRIPRA expire without a replacement, insurers with the ability to do so will likely deploy terrorism capacity only for preferred locations and pricing. Reinsurers are also likely to only provide additional capacity at notably higher rates, which could create capacity shortfalls for some central business districts and employers with significant workers’ compensation accumulations. As such, a federal backstop remains essential if the private reinsurance market is to continue to provide capacity to higher-risk areas.”
