The German reinsurer Munich Re has released its summary of natural catastrophes in 2024 and said that the nat cat balance sheet in 2024 was “a loss-heavy year for insurers”.
There were insured losses of $140 billion - which only two years since 1980 have been more expensive so far.
The growing nat cat loss burden could see more in the re/insurance sector assess their risk and exposure, which could affect their investment strategies.
