BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

U.K. floods likely to cost up to $8.64 billion: KPMG

December 29, 2015 Reprints

KPMG L.L.P. said that the recent floods in the United Kingdom are expected to cost between £5 billion ($7.5 billion) and £5.8 billion ($8.64 billion) in the long-term, reports The Independent.

KPMG estimated that damage worth about £1 billion will not be covered by insurance policies.

Heavy rains have caused the rivers to burst their banks leading to a rise in water levels that have devastated large parts of northern England.

Paris-based insurer AXA S.A. said that it has already made emergency payments of £1.1 million.
