Hurricane Milton's insured losses could cost between $30 billion and $50 billion, said analysts. AdvertisementHurricane Milton stormed Florida on Wednesday, leaving an estimated $30 billion to $50 billion of insured losses, according to analysts from Fitch Ratings in a Thursday note. Milton's insured losses could range from $30 billion to $50 billion, according to Fitch, making it the largest since Hurricane Ian in 2022, which caused $60 billion in damages. According to a September report by Moody's Analytics, Hurricane Helene's insured losses were between $20 billion and $34 billion. Fitch analysts said local insurers might face insufficient reinsurance coverage to handle the losses and drive up premium rates.

The October report found that around 13% of Americans reported economic hardship over the prior year due to climate change. Climate change could cost Americans born in 2024 nearly $500,000, due to higher taxes and pricier housing and food, among many other factors, ICF, a consulting firm, recently found in a report commissioned by Consumer Reports.

"There are clear interactions between heat waves and health conditions," said Charles Driscoll, a professor at Syracuse University who studies climate change. Climate change leads to droughts, which lead to crop failures, which cause food price spikes.

☆ Order to Liquidate Property Giant China Evergrande Is Just One Step in Fixing China's Debt Crisis

The order by the Hong Kong High Court also is not a remedy for the crisis of confidence haunting China’s financial markets. Markets in both Hong Kong and Shanghai fell Tuesday while share prices of property developers sank. State-owned Chinese banks and other domestic entities own most of the debt owed by Chinese property developers. David Goodman, director of the University of Sydney’s China Studies Center, said he thinks China’s property debt burdens are unlikely to precipitate a major financial crisis. “The fact of the matter is that the Chinese financial system is not as open or as marketized (as in the United States),” he said.

[1/2] Dressmaker Faieza Caswell from Mitchells Plain sews under candlelight in her workplace, on the Cape Flats due to South Africa's struggling power utility company Eskom, implementing regular power cuts - called 'load-shedding', in Cape Town, South Africa February 11, 2023. South Africa's relatively wealthy, developed economy and nearly three decades of political stability helped drive industry growth and draw in reinsurers. And they are now tightening the conditions of their agreements with insurance companies. Reinsurers are also pushing insurance companies to include so-called "named perils" in policies rather than offering blanket cover for catastrophes. Grid failure would plunge South Africa into a nationwide blackout that could last weeks.
