Insurers observing the violent demonstrations across France over the weekend may be thinking back to riots in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Nahel Merzouk in 2023 - an event that cost carriers around $800mn. But while the riots this time around are more widespread, with more businesses damaged and looted, insurers had already put in place changes that will mitigate their losses from the weekends unrest. Our sources estimate that the loss will be at least EUR1bn - but had insurers not taken steps such as imposing tighter sublimits on SRCC coverage after 2023, the loss could have been much worse. At the same time, there is an expectation that reinsurers will take a smaller proportion of this SRCC loss than they did in 2023, thanks to their own tightening of terms.
