Lloyd's has officially launched its new specialist underwriting platform in Dubai to provide tailored risk solutions across the Middle East.
Preliminary results of a catastrophe modelling study presented at the recent Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, showed little prospect of reducing economic losses from present level of US$240 billion per year.
Asound insurance operation needs to adhere to four disciplines but many insurers pass three of the disciplines and fail the fourth, said Mr Warren Buffett in his annual letter to shareholders for 2014.
In line with the reinvention and increase in services of the International Insurance Society (IIS), the organisation's annual seminar has been rebranded as the Global Insurance Forum (GIF).
