Cat bond issuances expected to pick up pace in second half

Credit rating agency DBRS Morningstar said that although catastrophe bond issuance volume may be somewhat muted in the first half of the year due to higher interest rates, it will pick up pace in the second half as rates stabilize and the demand for catastrophe coverage increases, Artemis reported. The agency believes that cat bonds and other alternative risk transfer instruments will play an important role as reinsurers restrict coverage and more sources of risk-absorbing capital are required.
