With selected research partners, we explore the future of risk coverage, assess changes in the risk landscape and act as a catalyst for industry change.
We see 35% probability of recession in the US in 2020, mostly due to external factors. Recession would hit re/insurers' net income and capital. In non-life, however, the accompanying disinflationary forces could positively impact margins, in part offsetting the downside pressure from investment income. In life, the investment-led decline would continue to constrain sector profitability.
