industry loss

PERILS AG has finalised its insurance and reinsurance industry loss estimate for the UK floods in winter 2015/16 at £1.108 billion, after its fourth industry loss estimate for storms Eva – Frank has been pegged at £504 million.

PERILS AG, provider of industry-wide European catastrophe exposure, industry loss data and indices, has finalised its industry loss estimate for the UK floods due to storm Desmond that struck the country in December 2015 at £604 million.

An increase in catastrophe activity during the first-half of 2016 across the U.S. resulted in insured losses of $13.5 billion, which is 20% higher than the ten-year historical average, according to Property Claim Services (PCS).

PCS designated 27 catastrophe events in the first-half of 2016 across the U.S. and Canada amounting to insured losses of $15 billion, including the devastating wildfires in Alberta, Canada and a series of intense hailstorms and flooding in Texas.

The insurance and reinsurance industry loss estimate from the UK flooding that hit the country in December 2015 and early January 2016 is now £1.135 billion ($1.56bn), after the estimate for storms Eva – Frank fell by 7%, according to PERILS AG.

PERILS AG, provider of industry-wide European catastrophe exposure, industry loss data and indices, has reduced its estimate insurance or reinsurance market losses from UK floods due to storm Desmond in December 2015 by another 10% down to £597m ($860m).

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) is sticking with its estimate that the final insurance bill for last winter’s UK flooding will cost around £1.3 billion (approximately $1.9 billion), so impact to reinsurance and ILS markets should not creep too much higher.

PCS reported earlier this year that 2015 was the most active year for catastrophe events across the U.S. since 2007, and the firm’s first-quarter 2016 catastrophe report reveals a continuation of the trend as catastrophe frequency and severity intensified during the quarter.

The insurance and reinsurance industry loss from the flooding that struck the UK in December 2015 and early January 2016 is now estimated at £1.24 billion ($1.75bn) as the estimate for storms Eva – Frank rises 10%, according to PERILS AG.

PERILS AG, provider of industry-wide European catastrophe exposure, industry loss data and indices, has lowered its estimate of insurance or reinsurance market losses from the UK flooding caused by storm Desmond at the beginning of December 2015 to £662m ($940m).
