Verisk released its 2026 Global Modeled Catastrophe Losses Report, setting a new benchmark of $171 billion for average annual insured losses, an increase of $19 billion year-over-year. The rise is driven by exposure growth, inflationary reconstruction costs, and continued development in hazard-prone areas, with the U.S. accounting for $117 billion or 68% of the total risk.
