Insurance company face worse losses than expected
Insurance group Royal & Sun Alliance has revealed that its losses resulting from the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11 were worse than expected.
The group revealed that it faces costs of up to £200 million, £50 million more than was estimated three days after the atrocity.
The figure, which is before tax relief and after reinsurance recoveries, is to be detailed further in the company’s forthcoming third quarter results on November 8.
However, the group has warned that the full impact of the terrorist attacks would not be known for some time. Initial estimates have already placed costs on the insurance industry as between £20-£33 billion ($30-$50 billion).
