As risk awareness and demand for re/insurance is increasing, Swiss Re highlights the importance of improved underwriting data, enhanced modelling and rebalancing of the insurance value chain for a sustainable reinsurance market. Swiss Re remains committed to engaging with primary insurers to anticipate and manage risk, respond to catastrophic events and help them grow in an uncertain world.

Hurricane Ian and other extreme weather events such as the winter storms in Europe, flooding in Australia and South Africa as well as hailstorms in France and in the US resulted in an estimated USD 115 billion of natural catastrophe insured losses this year to date, according to Swiss Re Institute.
