LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSESThe liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses (“unpaid claims”) for property and casualty insurance is included in “Policy and contract claims” in the statements of financial position and is the amount estimated for incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”) and claims that have been reported but not settled (“case reserves”), as well as associated claim adjustment expenses. Information regarding the liability for unpaid claims is shown below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUN. 30 US$ MILLIONS | | 2026 | | 2025 | | | | Policy and contract claims, beginning | | $ | 7,277 | | | $ | 7,659 | | | | | Less: Unpaid claims balance, beginning – long-duration | | 300 | | | 219 | | | | | Gross unpaid claims balance, beginning – short-duration | | 6,977 | | | 7,440 | | | | | Less: Reinsurance recoverables, beginning | | 2,742 | | | 3,083 | | | | | Less: Foreign currency translation | | 2 | | | 1 | | | | | Net balance, beginning – short-duration | | 4,233 | | | 4,356 | | | | | | | | | | | | Add: incurred related to | | | | | | | | Current accident year | | 701 | | | 896 | | | | | Prior accident years | | 3 | | | 20 | | | | | Total incurred claims | | 704 | | | 916 | | | | | Less: paid claims related to | | | | | | | | Current accident year | | 170 | | | 296 | | | | | Prior accident years | | 639 | | | 655 | | | | | Total paid claims | | 809 | | | 951 | | | | | | | | | | | | Net unpaid claims balance, ending – short-duration | | 4,128 | | | 4,321 | | | | | Add: Foreign currency translation | | 2 | | | 1 | | | | | Add: Reinsurance recoverables, ending | | 2,557 | | | 2,945 | | | | | Gross unpaid claims balance, ending – short-duration | | 6,687 | | | 7,267 | | | | | Add: Unpaid claims balance, ending – long-duration | | 200 | | | 253 | | | | | Policy and contract claims, ending | | $ | 6,887 | | | $ | 7,520 | | | |
The estimates for ultimate incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years increased by $3 million and by $20 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The unfavorable development in 2026 and 2025 was primarily related to higher-than-anticipated losses within certain casualty lines, which were partially offset by favorable development in our specialty lines. For short-duration health insurance claims, the total of IBNR plus expected development on reported claims as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $5 million and $6 million, respectively.
