Indonesia:AAUI to continue monitoring Jakarta floods

| 07 Mar 2025

Flooding in the Jakarta area - which began on Monday - has recently left a number of homes and buildings submerged in floods with varying heights.

There were no immediate reports of casualties after the latest deluge, but parts of the city, home to around 11m people, ground to a halt as whole neighbourhoods were swamped in muddy water.

The Indonesian General Insurance Association (AAUI) has stated that the impact of the floods is still in the monitoring phase.

AAUI vice chairman for statistics and research Trinita Situmeang said that although some areas were affected quite deep, the incoming insurance claims have yet to be predicted with certainty.

“We can’t confirm whether the flood claims this time are bigger than they were before. But when viewed from television, it should not be bigger. It is too early for a smaller or larger prediction than before, "said Ms Situmeang in a press conference on the AAUI performance report on Wednesday.

From the results of temporary monitoring, the most affected objects are residential homes and shopping malls, while industrial estates are relatively unaffected.

In addition to property, AAUI also noted that motor vehicles and submerged construction projects also suffered losses.

She added that AAUI’s next step will be to request a report from each member of the association regarding the extent to which they are exposed by the impact of this flood. The reports will allow analysis of the amount of claims and their impact on the insurance industry to be done more accurately.
