Conference session
This high-level panel brings together perspectives from across the market to explore the dynamics shaping today’s reinsurance strategies. The global reinsurance market is experiencing a measured softening in rates following a period of heightened pricing and constrained capacity. While regional differences remain, reinsurers are generally well-capitalised and cautiously expanding appetite, particularly in structured and multi-year deals. Mutuals and primary insurers face rising retention levels and pressure to balance risk with affordability, all while navigating shifting appetites, limited terms flexibility, and growing emphasis on data transparency. Long-term partnerships, proactive risk management, and a collaborative approach are emerging as critical strategies for navigating a market shaped by evolving climate risks, capital expectations, and geopolitical uncertainty.
