Catastrophe bond issuance has already beaten the headline annual record in 2025, as new deals have taken the figure to over $17.8 billion, beating last year’s record and putting the $20 billion milestone clearly in sight, according to Artemis’ data on the market.
The record for annual catastrophe bond issuance, by Artemis’ data, fell at the start of July with the settlement of Ariel Re’s latest Titania cat bond deal.
That took Artemis’ total for issuance across all Rule 144A catastrophe bonds and private cat bonds we’ve tracked in 2025 so far to just over $17.71 billion.
Our total rose a little further with a new private cat bond deal from the Mangrove Risk Solutions platform that we reported on yesterday, now standing at over $17.813 billion as of this week.
