A major factor to consider when making decisions is the ongoing conflict in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. According to the report, “… geopolitical uncertainty may persuade insurance businesses to either pull back from lines of business and/or territories impacted by conflict, or to rein in expansion plans.
“That said,” the report continues, “the insurance sector is adept at finding opportunity amid uncertainty, and the growth outlook is more optimistic overall this year, with hotspots in certain product lines, geographies and distribution channels.
“However, this is a market with a lot of moving parts and insurers must be able to negotiate a complex environment in order to create growth and deliver returns for shareholders.”
