    POLITICAL VIOLENCE: NAVIGATING NEW RISKS

    The Political Violence (PV) market is a fast-growing specialty business driven by geopolitical risk volatility. Loss events and tensions around the globe have put pressure on existing products (e.g. SRCC) and spurred standalone PV growth. 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. This roundtable focuses on:


    •MENA and SSA regional growth markets for PV
    •Meeting client demand with fit-for-purpose products
    •Skills focus: key broking and underwriting expertise
    •A maturing market: what next for the PV market?
