Reprints
Analysts at U.S.-based Fitch Ratings Inc. believe that natural catastrophe risks could become “less insurable” in the future due to climate change, economic growth and insurance density, Reinsurance News reported. Increasing frequency and severity of natural catastrophes could push insurers and reinsurers to raise premiums; however, customers’ incapability or unwillingness to pay for expensive insurance coverage could lead to a gradual withdrawal of nat cat insurance.
