The Asia-Pacific region's changes in population concentration combined with its propensity for natural catastrophic events represent points of potential weakness for primary carriers and reinsurers.

In the United States, population concentration in catastrophe-prone zones continues to threaten the financial security of many insurers that have yet to take the appropriate steps to manage their exposure.

The demise of the investment banks, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and investors' current risk aversion mean that carriers will not have access to creative funding solutions that have been so responsive to past catastrophes.


Insurance carriers cannot afford to debate the use of enterprise data warehouses, geocoding, and visualization technology to manage physical risk across all product lines on an aggregated basis.

The immediate need to establish appropriate premiums and the future need for exposure assessment demands that carriers use catastrophe and pricing analytics and models.



Topics covered in the report include... Background Global Catastrophe Impact Changes in Financial Services Industry Driving a New Reality Institutional Changes Redefine the Marketplace Changes in Bond Market Participation Recommended Responses to the Financial Market Changes Summary
