Huge increase in insurance compensation implies large amount of investment risk exposures
ANBOUND
Statistics show that in 2016 global investment insurance claims amounted to US$ 300 million, which is more than double amount of the compensation of US$ 150 million in 2015; this is also the highest amount of compensation during the decade from 2007 to 2016. On one hand, this reflects the growth of China's foreign investment; on the other hand, it also reflects the risks of overseas investment. However, the claim data are lagging behind. The huge increase in the amount of compensation implies a large amount of investment risk exposures and illustrates the seriousness of the global investment situation in recent years.
