Increases to reinsurance costs aren’t specific to AA Insurance. Recently, increasing reinsurance costs have impacted premiums across the insurance industry. This has been influenced by recent extreme weather and natural hazard events. As a result of these events, reinsurers are changing how they view New Zealand and the costs being charged to insurers, which means reinsurance costs have increased significantly.
