- Total insured losses caused by natural catastrophe events.
- Measure
- One slice of Insured losses ( basis: year to date, form: level, segment: natural catastrophe ) . Total financial losses caused by catastrophe or damage events covered by insurance. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations

- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
