Interviewer instructions
Macroeconomics shocks are defined as any month in which the Case 30 is suspended or anytime the food inflation is above 75% or subsidized item inflation is above 20%. In the last year, there would have been a payout in February, March, and November since the stock market was suspended at that time. There would have been payouts from October 2009 to January 2010 due to food inflation, and there would have been payouts July through September of 2008 due to subsidized goods payouts. The insurance product would last for 1 year and it would be paid out the first month in which there was a shock. The insurance product would cover either a new micro loan or a new authorized asset purchase (up to 5000 LE) and the insurance would pay out the full value of either the loan or the authorized asset. The cost of the insurance would be 5% of the value of the loan or authorized asset purchase.
