Trend

This week, WTW published a general overview of the key developments in the GB cyber insurance market, analysing the conditions both for international and domestic companies using the London Market to transfer risk-the market has seen significant changes during Q2 2022, with the segments within the market being more distinct and nuanced than previously experienced. S&P Global Ratings reported that GCC Islamic insurers continue to suffer from intense competition. GlobalData said growing awareness and renewed economic growth helped top 20 APAC insurers post aggregate premium of $908.6bn in 2021. The researcher also reported that InsurTech investments fell by 79.6% in 2021 leading to job losses and tough economic conditions in 2022, and that Augmented reality(AR) will be invaluable to insurers in the post-pandemic world.
European insurers called for greater clarity and improvements to the draft IAIS criteria on comparability of the Aggregation Method and Insurance Capital Standard. The Personal Finance Society(PFS) appointed an interim ceo and also indicated that a survey of 180 PFS members showed 43% declared the favourite part of their working day to be coaching, which involves informing and empowering their clients so that they feel confident enough to make their own financial decisions.
Sapiens International Corporation announced an agreement with US-based Intellagents, a no-code, hybrid cloud, independent insurance marketplace platform provider-in South Africa, Old Mutual Insure selected Sapiens for its Data and Analytics solution. Beazley’s Smart Tracker Syndicate 5623 got Lloyd’s Council ‘in principle’ approval, Pool Re launched a consultation with members over a move to a treaty model, whilst Ocean Re acquired Oceva Risk businesses in London and Denmark as part of its international expansion strategy.

Increasingly, financial services companies and their regulators are taking a global view as instant communications make the world a smaller place and are accelerating the maturity of developing countries. Insurance Newslink 29 years ago predicted this trend and over that period of time has uniquely brought together strategic intelligence from source across all insurance/reinsurance markets and related IT/InsurTech trends into an internet-based Research Matrix database self-service and reporting facility. As technology and analytics progresses, with such advances as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and dispersed digitisation uplift following the COVID-19 pandemic, the service will play an increasingly important role in adding value to internal company analytics in a global market context.
Today, Insurance Newslink has over 55,000 expertly selected articles from source indexed across a Matrix of date, continent /country, company, regulatory, company, research/publications, and IT applications by business function. Our Banking Newslink Global Trends service commencing in 2000 has over 36,000 articles, and Financial Newslink combines both services at www.onlystrategic.com
Insurers, reinsurers and banks need to know about each other’s positioning and IT suppliers of all types and sizes need to understand the key business and regulatory issues and opportunities. The surge of InsurTech, FinTech and digitisation initiatives have emerged from all over the globe-only a few years ago, the Chinese were finding out about progress in the US and Europe and could well now be ahead of the field. Speedier change is impacting the mind-set of the customer/consumer.
The service acts as a strategic catalyst enabling quicker, better decisions across market players and suppliers bringing global market,IT, and regulatory trends together, adding value for student through to CEO.
