Moody’s CEO Rob Fauber said the insurance and reinsurance industry is facing a mounting challenge from “exponential risk,” where interconnected emerging risks can multiply consequences as they travel through a tightly linked global system.

Speaking at a Moody’s briefing in Monte Carlo during the 2026 Rendez-vous event, Fauber argued that physical events can ripple into infrastructure and supply chains, then affect businesses, credit conditions, and communities. He also said technological disruption and economic or geopolitical fragility can reduce the system’s ability to absorb shocks.

Fauber added that the ultimate losses from a disruption can emerge far from where the original event began, making it harder for stakeholders to evaluate and transfer risk. He said Moody’s is focused on ensuring capital providers understand the opportunity and risks well enough to participate in reinsurance capacity with confidence.
