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”.

IAG New Zealand may have to boost Canterbury quake provisions, analysts say

July 21, 2015 Reprints

Analysts at U.S.-based Citigroup Inc. have said that IAG New Zealand Ltd. may have to boost its provisions to cover Canterbury earthquake claims, reported Interest.co.nz.

The statement comes after the insurer said that it is not expecting to increase the provisions.

IAG had used 97% of its reinsurance cover to pay for the quake at the end of 2014.

In December 2014, the insurer projected its final claims cost with respect to the quakes to rise by between $750 million New Zealand and $1 billion New Zealand ($492.5 million and $656.7 million).
