London, United Kingdom

Epidemic Risk Solutions (ERS) develops risk-transfer solutions for epidemic risks for non-life, life, and public sector insurance. Epidemics are outbreaks of contagious diseases that severely impact corporations, the economy, and insurers’ portfolios. Past epidemics led to significant revenue losses or significant additional expenses in many industries, e.g. tourism and travel, hospitals, and labour-intensive production sites. By better understanding and evaluating epidemic risk exposure, we try to turn this risk into an opportunity and globally advance the development of a new business field for Munich Re. Besides providing innovative solutions for businesses in various industry segments (e.g. non-damage business interruption), public sector and life reinsurance products as well as transformation of these risks into capital market instruments are within the scope of ERS.
