General issues
- Catastrophe was underestimated and many insurers
had miscalculated their reinsurance arrangement- Insurers leaving the country leaving clients helpless- Insurers may become more selective with inspections
(checking for rotting structural members) before insuranceis given.
- Sharp price spikes in new premiums and excesses(some as
high as %80)- The bulk of the money to settle claims is coming from the
international reinsurers- The relative small size of NZ has allowed it to be a minor
concern for reinsurers. Following the catastrophe however,its costly potential as a liability has bee recognised. Now
we are seeing reinsurers pulling out- The full costs of the quake are still a long way from being
fully understood
