Abstract

This paper discusses the macroeconomic effects that a number of developing countries, subject to substantial natural disaster risk, may experience after disasters. Further, the paper recommends the need to plan the recovery process on a macroeconomic basis. These points are substantiated with examples from recent experience in Honduras and El Salvador.
