ReportsnReports - Reinsurance in the UK, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2016

11-May-2012 | News-Press Release

During the review period, premium ceded to reinsurance by UK direct insurers grew, with the exception of a noticeable decline in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis. Following European financial liberalization, the UK insurance industry was opened up to international reinsurers and brokers. The UK reinsurance segment is dominated by domestic reinsurers, as well as reinsurers from other European countries such as Germany. Due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the European debt crisis and severe flooding in 2010–2011, renewal prices increased in the UK reinsurance segment. Previously, during 2009–2010, UK reinsurance brokers experienced increased demand from credit insurers keen to minimize their risk by sharing it with a reinsurer. Furthermore, with the forthcoming introduction of the Solvency II directive, many insurers are also expected to be dependent on reinsurers in order to ensure better risk management and retain their market positions.
