Country reference

Seismic risk, country by country

A working reference on the earthquake risk that matters to a (re)insurer: the fault systems that drive loss, the events that shaped each market, and how the exposure enters pricing, accumulation and capital. Every profile is modelled and validated by Dynamis.

Philippines

The Philippines is one of the most seismically exposed economies on Earth. The archipelago sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, squeezed between two opposing subduction trenches and split lengthwise by the Philippine Fault, with the West Valley Fault running directly beneath Metro Manila and its concentration of national wealth. For a (re)insurer, the question is not whether a damaging earthquake happens, but where the next one lands relative to the accumulation.

More countries are being added. If you need a profile for a specific market or portfolio, we can build and validate it against the national code.
