World Risk and Insurance News Looks at 2011
with First Annual WRIN.tv Year-end Review.
New broadcast features a look at the global financial crisis,
a year of record catastrophe losses, prospects for growth in 2012,
and results of a new WRIN.tv Poll.
December 20, 2011
World Risk and Insurance News presents its first annual WRIN.tv Year-end Review with video highlights from past interviews and news segments. The result is a fast-paced look at 2011 and a prospective look at 2012.
In 2011, the global economy led to political and social unrest around the globe. Record losses threatened earnings and capital positions of many insurers and reinsurers, and prices began to harden as a result. Video clips of industry experts provide a concise overview of these issues and their impact on financial performance in the insurance industry. Guests also looked ahead to 2012 and discussed areas of opportunity and growth in the new year.
Video highlights include clips of interviews with leaders from A.M Best and Company, Aon Benfield, Beecher Carlson, Goldberg Segalla, Guy Carpenter, the Hawaii Captive Insurance Council, Inland Marine Underwriters Association, Insurance Information Institute, The Insurance Insider, the International Underwriting Association, PwC, Reinsurance Magazine, Safeway, and more.
World Risk and Insurance News also reveal the results of a recent WRIN.tv Poll, which asked viewers: What is the biggest challenge facing the property/casualty insurance industry right now: Emerging Risks, Global Economic Conditions, New Legislation, Regulation or Soft Pricing.
