About the Industry Exposure Index

Verisk developed global industry exposure indexes using the Verisk Global Capital Stock Index (VGCSI) to keep Industry Exposure Databases current between full updates.

The index reflects the changes in asset values, at a country level, across all business lines.

You can use the industry exposure indexes to generate industry loss estimates based on current industry exposures. We also use industry exposure indexes when issuing ALERT industry loss estimates for actual events in countries for which an index has been published. Users who would like to replicate this industry-insured loss range should apply the industry exposure index.
