Out of chaos comes opportunity and the opportunities for the insurance sector in a challenged world
The reinsurance market in 2024 is perhaps the most bracing in the sector’s history. Reinsurers have strong reasons to be bullish after a firm 1/1 that built on last year’s heady premium gains. But as the market courts admirers among would-be investors, and capacity looks to deploy into areas of attractive rate, old hands in the market are closely watching a range of interconnected risks and challenges, from embracing innovation and fostering talent, to an unpredictable risk outlook and fast-emerging technologies. The panel debate will focus on how the industry can address the challenges and shape them from risks into opportunities.

5. Navigating risks
6. Fostering talent

From its market origins within terrorism and war risk teams, PV has become a major growth line for specialty brokers and underwriters active in many emerging markets, including Middle East and African countries, that in the current era of global insecurity, could become the next PV hotspot.
