P&C Industry Uniquely Poised to Hold Its Own

In the unlikely event that the United States Government postpones the payment of interest or principal on obligations that come due in the near term, the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance industry, as a whole, is uniquely positioned to hold its own.

Although the P&C insurance industry holds approximately $150 billion of U.S. government obligations, less than $50 billion matures in the next year. Given that the amount of principal and interest due from the U.S. Government to the P&C industry in the next twelve months represents only 3 percent of the P&C industry’ aggregate cash and invested assets, which are approximately $1.325 trillion, the P&C insurance industry will not be adversely impacted if there is a disruption in these cash flows.
