Last month, FM announced a $400m resilience credit, aimed at assisting clients in investing in climate resilience measures.
This credit marks the third of its kind, bringing the total offered to more than $1bn since the programme began in 2022.
The initiative is part of FM’s response to the growing frequency of extreme weather events such as the catastrophic hurricanes in the south-eastern US.
