The Central Reinsurance Fund (CCR) indicated on Friday that it had revised upwards, to 640 million euros, the cost of the floods of November and January in Hauts-de-France covered under the natural disaster regime. .
The public reinsurer estimated the worsening of claims in November at 75 million euros and the new claims in January at 15 million, a spokesperson told AFP, confirming information from Les Echos. The CCR estimated the damage at 550 million euros at the end of November.
“This estimated cost takes into account the data we have to date and may be re-evaluated based on feedback on claims from our insurer clients,” she added.
The CCR, which in some way insures insurers for natural disasters, must directly cover at least 50% of the amount.
The Central Reinsurance Fund was unable to give an estimate of the damage on Friday after Cyclone Belal hit Reunion on January 15.
