Bermuda has always been known for its prominent role as one of the leading reinsurance centres in the world, and continues to innovate and broaden its product offering
Having established itself as a global reinsurance market leader for many years, thanks in large part to its regulatory environment, Bermuda is enjoying a boom. But while this mid-Atlantic island is experiencing a surge in interest, it has continued to look at ways in which it can expand its offering to insurance businesses. To cater for this growth in interest, a number of specialist institutions have emerged that will guide potential clients through Bermuda’s business community.

Bermuda has gained a reputation for quality and innovation in the financial sector, which has seen it become a world leader in the ILS market
Most people’s first thoughts of Bermuda will be of a paradise island that combines turquoise waters and pink beaches with old-style British colonial charm. To sophisticated investors, however, Bermuda is known as one of the world’s premier financial jurisdictions and is home to the fastest-growing niche sector of insurance linked securities (ILS).

Ross Webber, the new CEO of the Bermuda Business Development Agency, gives his thoughts on the positive steps the agency is taking to attract business to Bermuda’s shores.
As an agency the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is instituting a very different model when it comes to marketing our jurisdiction. The approach taken by our predecessor organisations revolved mostly around domicile brand building, awareness and marketing. While this was fine, particularly during boom times, when the world of jurisdictional competitiveness increased and the global recession started to kick in, the model of generic marketing was found to be wanting.

С началом 2014 года украинская экономика вошла в очередной этап развития. Естественно, немаловажную роль в этом сыграла политическая ситуация в стране. Большие изменения также коснулись украинского страховщика. Значительные потери валового дохода, проблемы с иностранными акционерами и изменения регуляторной политики страхового рынка стали определяющими трендами.
Не секрет, что страховая отрасль напрямую связана банковским сектором. Можно сказать, эти два направления формируют львиную долю финансового сектора украинской экономики. Чем лучше страховщик сотрудничает с банками, тем больше он имеет поступлений страховых премий и соответственно валового дохода и прибыли.

В сегодняшних условиях украинские страховщики, как и все остальные финансовые учреждения Украины, столкнулись с проблемой недополучения запланированных доходов.
Закрытие бизнеса в Крыму, ситуация с Луганской и Донецкой областью, все это повлияло на финансовое состояние участников страхового рынка. К примеру, компании из ТОП-10 только от потери Крыма могут недополучить приблизительно 4% портфеля или суммарно 150 млн. грн., что является существенной суммой для субъектов страхового рынка. Поэтому в таких условиях все большую актуальность приобретает поиск альтернативных источников доходов для украинских страховщиков.
