Catastrophe insurance policies: Urso calls for the requirement to be extended to coastal areas
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - According to Adolfo Urso, Minister for Enterprise and Made in Italy, the compulsory insurance scheme for catastrophic events could be extended to the country’s coastal areas.
“Making insurance against natural disasters has enabled us to restore stability to the country’s economic and productive system,” he said on the sidelines of the ANIA annual general meeting.
‘It is important to protect our country against catastrophic events which, partly as a result of climate change, are affecting us more than in the past, including in ways that had not been anticipated’, for example ‘certain events that have struck our coasts, such as thecyclone that struck Sicily”, he said.
‘It is obvious that this only affects some coastal areas, so we cannot pass this on to all the other businesses that are not at risk from events of this kind.’
