The FFA details its “CATEX” project

26/11/2020

The CATEX project is an insurance scheme that the FFA proposes to set up in partnership with the French State. It aims to cover companies against the financial consequences of a lockdown imposed by the public authorities within the framework of a pandemic or epidemic thanks to the payment of a “resilience lump-sum” enabling them to get through the crisis. Since the initial work presented to the government on 11 June, this draft scheme has evolved thanks to the exchanges with various stakeholders. It is a balanced insurance scheme that has just been presented to the public authorities, which will have to follow up on this proposal.
