Global risks and cross-cutting challenges — economic, technological, environmental, societal, geopolitical — are intensifying, creating an increasingly complex environment for those in business, government and other sectors around the world.
In this year’s report, “A Clearer View of Emerging Risks,” our goal is to assess the challenges facing the (re)insurance industry in modeling and quantifying the most pressing technological risks that society may face.
Although 144A property and casualty (P&C) catastrophe bond primary issuance levels were charted as uncharacteristically low in the fourth quarter, totals at year-end were only slightly lower than the all-time high levels seen in 2014, with 2015 issuance totaling USD 5.917 billion, and outstanding risk capital totaling USD 22.640 billion, as of December 31, 2015.
In addition to providing a brief recap of July 2015 renewal activity, the report assesses key industry trends, including a detailed assessment of mergers and acquisitions activity and highlights other notable themes such as cyber security risk, increased regulation and public-private partnerships.
This report provides an assessment of the development of solvency and other regulatory initiatives, including changes to capital requirements that are impacting (re)insurers.
Joan Lamm-Tennant, Global Chief Economist and Risk Strategist, and CEO of the MicroInsurance Venture Incubator, speaks on this initiative created by a consortium of leading insurance companies.
