Introducing Parametric Insurance
Blog author
In the complex world of risk management, traditional insurance has long stood as the bulwark against financial loss. However, as the global business landscape evolves, the limitations of such traditional models become increasingly apparent. This is where parametric insurance enters the stage, offering a novel approach that promises to bridge the gap between what conventional policies cover and the actual needs of large enterprises. Unlike traditional insurance, which compensates for loss after it occurs, parametric insurance provides payouts based on the occurrence of a predefined event, regardless of the actual damage incurred. This emerging insurance model could be the key to addressing the evolving challenges that large companies face, from climate change impacts to the nuances of cyber risk. This blog explores how parametric insurance can fill the critical void left by traditional coverage, ensuring that companies are not just insured but are truly protected against the unforeseeable.

Hard insurance market
Blog author
According to Marsh, we have had more than 20 consecutive quarters with a hard insurance market.Β  The premiums are primarily driven by the direct insurers but after the latest re-insurance meeting in September in Monte Carlo, the re-insurers seem to follow up. If your company has suffered a major damage, e.g. fire damage, then you will probably look into a renewal where the insurance companies are reluctant and will demand higher premiums or support with less capacity. On top of that, inflation and a shortage of production will contribute to an increase in insurance premiums in 2023.
