Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK) estimates that economic losses from the June 24, 2026 Venezuela earthquake sequence will likely exceed USD 10 billion. A rare magnitude 7.2 foreshock and 7.5 mainshock caused major damage, with around 1,400 buildings destroyed, especially in Caracas and La Guaira.
Verisk highlights high uncertainty in insured loss estimates due to Venezuela’s elevated inflation, low insurance penetration, currency depreciation, sanctions-related complexities, and limited insurance market capacity. Modeled insured losses exclude multiple perils such as fire-following, landslides, infrastructure damage, and several specialized insurance classes.
