The crisis management insurance market is experiencing:
- Insurers paying and reserving for the continuation of the largest losses in the market’s history due to the crisis in Ukraine.
- Clarity is required regarding exclusionary language in property policies offered by certain European carriers, specifically whether terrorism exclusions extend to SRCC coverage.
- Accident and Health market buoyant with new capacity providers entering a saturated market.
- Increasing pressure on (re)insurers due to the conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine.
- No major losses across sub-classes with the exception of Contingency which has experienced significant losses across outdoor festivals for three years running.
- Kidnap and Ransom rates largely stabilizing with some moderate increases of +5-10% in response to greater claims frequency/severity, heightened geo-political tensions/security risks.
- Piracy in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea is an area of particular concern with a significant increase in attacks against commercial shipping.
