Lloyd's of London Raises World Trade Center Loss Estimate
Lloyd's of London lifted its World Trade Center loss projection to 2.4 billion dollars, up 47 percent from 1.9 billion. The change reflects new property and business interruption claims and higher reinsurance exposures as other insurers also increased their losses. Lloyd's reports 1999 net losses at 2.42 billion and 2000 at 2.16 billion. Sax Riley, Lloyd's chairman, said the group is confident in its ability to manage the losses from Sept 11.
