Insured damage from the worst floods in the Czech Republic in more than a decade could cost 7.5 billion crowns ($381.35 million), the country's insurers said on Thursday.
The Czech Insurance Association (CAP) said its members, who cover 98 percent of the market, had already registered 10,000 claims, but that number could rise to 96,000, according to early estimates.
Around 19,000 people have been evacuated in the Czech Republic and tens of thousands more in neighbouring central European countries in the region's worst flooding since 2002. A dozen people have been reported killed in the region.
