Commenting on the latest developments in the world’s financial markets, Munich Re’s Board of Management Chairman, Dr. Nikolaus von Bomhard, stated: “We welcome the measures adopted by the European states and the German Federal Government. They were necessary steps at the right time to calm and stabilize the financial markets. The share-price recoveries over the past two days are a first positive indication that these measures are taking effect.”
However, he continued, the “package of measures probably cannot prevent the crisis spreading to the real economy – stagnation at least is likely in Europe and the USA.”
The bulletin added that Munich Re, “like the insurance industry as a whole, has not been left unscathed by the market developments. But as things stand at present, no fundamental impacts on the Group are to be expected. Munich Re’s capitalization is solid.”
