BU Data

BU Data in the first half of 2022 shows solid signs of continuing post-pandemic recovery, with year-on-year growth across business lines in H1 2022, and a partial normalisation of claims patterns


  • The increasing value of trade and strong demand for product is keeping ST business growing in double digits
  • The private insurance market is flying high, benefitting from the post-pandemic return of investment projects and their ability to select the best risks to grow their MLT business
  • Infrastructure and manufacturing sectors had a strong 6 months with +75% growth year on year, while Renewable Energy recorded its highest ever value of new commitments for a half year period (USD 5.3 bn)
  • Domestic business returns to normal levels, but remains a significant tool for ECAs
  • BU members paid USD 3.9 bn. in claims in H1 2022 – 10% lower than in the first half of 2021 with decreases for both ST and MLT business lines
