Australia's life insurance industry, which has been suffering since 2011, is now rising from its ashes, led by claims management innovation, says Mr André Dreyer from RGA Reinsurance Co of Australia Ltd.
Life reinsurers are needed for their technical expertise in many areas. In Asia, these include longevity insurance, long-term care insurance, capital management solutions amongst others, says Mr Paolo De Martin from SCOR Global Life.
