According to KCC’s report on 2018’s Typhoon Jebi, the $15 billion in insured losses should not have been a surprise to catastrophe modelers and re/insurers. The report also discussed the nature of the damage, as observed by KCC’s survey team.
Based on its high-resolution Japan Typhoon Reference Model, KCC believes industry losses such as those seen with Jebi are at least a 1-in-20 year event and that the insurance and reinsurance sectors can expect significantly larger losses at longer return periods.
KCC’s analysis from a white paper on the anniversary of Typhoon Jebi predicts that insurance and reinsurance firms, and also insurance-linked securities (ILS) players, can expect to experience insured losses of above $15 billion from a Japanese typhoon with a frequency of at least once every 20 years, on average.
