Insurance Australia Group Urges New Zealand to Develop Long-Term Roadmap to Cut Natural Hazard Risk

Insurance Australia Group's (ASX:IAG) IAG New Zealand division on Wednesday urged New Zealand's government to develop a long-term roadmap to cut natural hazard risk, which it said is rising faster than the country's ability to manage it.A new report from IAG has revealed "concerning gaps in how New Zealand plans, builds, invests and governs to reduce the impacts of its earthquakes, floods and cyclones."The country's current approach is fragmented and poorly coordinated, with councils expected to manage the burden in the absence of necessary tools or funding, while repeated disasters are set erode growth and public finances without further reform, the report found.It identifies dozens of gaps in New Zealand's approach to risk reduction, including a lack of both consistent rules and reliable hazard and risk information to support decisions.Disasters have cost New Zealand at least NZ$4.2 billion a year over the past 15 years, but during that time, nearly all the spending has been geared toward response and recovery rather than reducing the impact of hazards, IAG New Zealand said.

Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Warns Financial Sector Over AI-Related Risks

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) on Thursday called on the financial sector to enhance its management of AI-related risks, warning that information security practices are struggling to keep up with the speed of the technology's adoption.In a letter to the industry, the regulator outlined the findings of a review it launched last year, noting that the growing use of advanced AI is creating multiple new financial and operational vulnerabilities for banks, insurers, and superannuation trustees."Frontier AI models such as Anthropic's Claude Mythos, which could enhance the discovery of vulnerabilities by bad actors, are expected to further increase the probability, speed, and scale of cyber attacks," APRA said.The regulator found that financial corporates have a high interest in the potential benefits of AI usage, but in many cases lack the technical knowledge to effectively manage the associated risks.The APRA is not proposing to introduce additional requirements at this stage but expects to see a "significant improvement" in how the financial sector approaches AI-related risk management and governance.
