CRESTA zones give insurers, reinsurers, modelers, regulators and other industry professionals a universal global standard for analyzing, aggregating and exchanging risk-related insights. Link your information to a worldwide boundary structure to pinpoint trends and then share results with unmatched accuracy and speed.

Created in collaboration with PERILS CRESTA AG, the current CRESTA zones offer coverage of 137 countries and are based on GfK’s global map set of postal and administrative boundaries 2019. In order to quantify the area changes resulting from GfK’s regular map updates with regard to the current CRESTA version, we continuously provide CRESTA Assignment Tables.
