MUNICH (Reuters) - Munich Re was hit by big losses due to hurricanes and other natural catastrophes in the third quarter, but they remained within the company's budget for such claims, a company source said on Thursday.
The German reinsurer did see some claims for the collapse of a bridge in Genoa, though they were relatively small, the person with knowledge of the matter said on condition of anonymity.
A spokesman declined to comment.
Earlier on Thursday, Swiss Re said that third-quarter claims losses were large for an individual quarter but that cumulative losses for the first nine months of 2018 were broadly in line with expectations.
