It offers a unique data set, illustrating the premiums earned by world-leading insurers and reinsurers. \u201cIUA members remain optimistic about future business prospects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are possible clouds on the horizon with concerns expressed about geopolitical uncertainties and the introduction of barriers to the flow of trade and capital. But many firms report plans in place to grow core business classes and monitor developing opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong retention rates for existing clients were reported this year by many respondents to our survey.\u201d<\/p>\n
