Total catastrophe bond issuance hits $16.1bn YTD in 2026. 144A cat bonds over $15.8bn. Records now in sight
The total for settled catastrophe bond issuance across Rule 144A deals and the private cat bond transactions we have analysed so far in 2026 has reached $16.1 billion as of today, while settled 144A cat bond issuance alone currently stands at over $15.8 billion.
With the emergence of new Kilimanjaro III Re cat bond offerings for re/insurer Everest a day after we published this article, our projection for H1 2026 total cat bond issuance (across 144A and private deals we've tracked) has risen to just over $17.49 billion, now only running very slightly behind the half-year record set in H1 2025.
Notably though, if the pipeline all settles to plan within June, second quarter cat bond issuance records are now set to be broken, for total issuance and Rule 144A only issuance, we believe. In addition, we expect the H1 record for 144A property cat bond issuance will fall, if everything settles on schedule.
