    CHAIR: David Benyon, editor, Global Reinsurance

    Africa Regional Outlook and Opportunities session: Africa presents a dynamic and evolving landscape for the reinsurance market, with both challenges and opportunities shaping its future.
    This session will provide a regional focus on Africa, exploring key growth areas such as infrastructure development, energy, and mining, while assessing the impact of emerging risks, including climate change and natural catastrophes.
    Panellists will discuss the evolving regulatory environment, including the implications of AfCFTA and localised policies, as well as the state of the insurance market within the broader global context. With signs of market softening, increasing capacity, and rate pressures across different lines, the discussion will offer critical insights into current conditions, particularly in markets like South Africa.
    Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the industry's potential, from overcoming challenges like low insurance penetration and fragmented regulations to capitalizing on Africa’s unique advantages in risk management and economic development.
