Eqecat Inc. catastrophe modeling firm estimated damages from European wind storm Kyrill today at between $3.2 billion and $6.4 billion.
Based upon available data, Germany is expected to be the largest contributor to the losses from this event, the Oakland, Calif.-based catastrophe modeler said.
Eqecat said the estimated cost constitutes a European market loss with a recurrence interval of approximately seven to 10 years.
Eqecat's estimate falls on the low end of its competitors' estimates.
Boston-based AIR Worldwide put the insured losses in the $5.2-to-$10.4 billion range, while Newark, Calif.-based RMS Solutions came in at between $4 billion and $7 billion.
