Flooding across Central Europe in May and June tops the list of costliest natural insured-loss events in a relatively mild first six months of 2013, according to Aon Benfield's Impact Forecasting.
Global insured losses for 2013's first half were $20 billion, Impact Forecasting says, down 20 percent from the 10-year January-June average (2003-2012) of $25 billion.
The flooding in Europe is expected to cost insurers at least $5.3 billion, mostly attributable to damage in Germany, says Impact Forecasting.
