Munich Re posts smaller-than-expected Q1 net loss


    FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Munich Re posted a smaller-than-expected net loss in the first quarter after being battered by earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand.

    The quarterly net loss was 947 million euros ($1.4 billion), world's biggest reinsurer said in a statement on Monday.

    This compares with an expected net loss of 1.06 billion euros that was the average of 10 estimates in a Reuters poll of banks and brokerages.
