How does an unstable climate impact your insurance?

Shared Lunch

Garth Bray sits down with Kris Faafoi, Chief Executive of the Insurance Council, to discuss the impact of recent climate events for New Zealanders who want to protect their assets. Faafoi outlines the insurance industry's growing challenges and shifting directions, and what they mean for Kiwis.

Why have insurance premiums gone up? Are they leveling out? What’s the deal with reinsurance? And what does it all mean for homeowners and home buyers? 

With regions around the country hit hard by recent natural hazards, we discuss the growing influence of the climate on insurance availability and affordability. An important look at the future of insurance for New Zealanders—and our biggest investments.
