Insurance is leaving the hard market without leaving the underlying pressure behind
Catastrophe exposure, changing customer expectations and AI adoption are reshaping underwriting, claims and the economics of insurance operations.
Industrial policy is reshaping the economics of strategically important sectors
Governments are using subsidies, procurement and controls to influence capacity, ownership and geographic concentration.
