PERILS, the independent Zurich-based provider of catastrophe loss data and indices, has recently extended its market coverage to include New Zealand. Via its database, the firm will now make available market-wide property sums insured exposed to the perils of earthquake, flood and extratropical cyclones in New Zealand. In addition, it will provide event loss data for any events above a market loss of NZ$300m ($193.6m) caused by these respective perils.
