Perils AG estimates €3.3bn insured loss from August European convective storms

The initial estimate covers storms in France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, AM Best reported on October 19.

Perils AG estimates insured losses of €3.30 billion ($3.7 billion) from severe convective storms that hit France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in August.

AM Best reported the figure on October 19, and the available text gives only the four-country aggregate alongside the euro and dollar amounts. It does not break the loss down by country or peril or say whether Perils will revise the estimate.
