Abstract

This blog post builds on the NGFS’s short-term climate scenarios to assess the risk of a financial market correction caused by a series of natural disasters. In the event of extreme climate shocks, French banks, insurers and asset managers would be exposed to losses of EUR 196 billion, equivalent to a 4% drop in the value of their equity and bond portfolios. Ce billet s’appuie sur les scénarios climatiques de court terme du NGFS pour évaluer le risque de correction des marchés financiers à une série de désastres naturels. En cas de chocs climatiques extrêmes, banques, assurances et gestionnaires d’actifs français s’exposeraient à des pertes de 196 milliards d’euros, équivalant à une dépréciation de 4% de leurs portefeuilles d’actions et d’obligations.
