The economic e.ffects of sanctions include a material increase in commodity prices, which could add to inflationary pressures, challenging efforts by the global central banks and the US Federal Reserve to contain inflation.

Further sanctions may impact the ability of international (re)insurers to underwrite Russian risks or make it more difticult for them to service claims on existing policies. Most affected will be those writing large energy and infrastructure risks, sucb as London Market insurers, and international reinsurers. This business has historically been highly protitable.
