In March 2009, 250 insurers, reinsurers, brokers, bankers and lawyers, as well as risk managers from Brazil’s most preeminent corporations gathered in Rio de Janeiro at Reactions’ Brazilian Reinsurance Conference. Following on from this success, Reactions announces The 2nd Annual Brazilian Reinsurance Conference.
In March 2010, the industry will meet once again to discuss the prospects for the insurance industry’s most exciting market. Already accounting for over 40% of Latin America’s insurance, the volume of business written in Brazil is anticipated to grow exponentially in the coming decade as the government invests in energy projects such as the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant as well the necessary infrastructure required to host the World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic Games. These industrial projects, along with increasing penetration of the growing middle classes with personal lines, require huge reinsurance capacity to sustain the primary market. These exciting opportunities, as well as the associated hurdles and barriers, will be discuss through an innovative programme of panel discussions and presentations at The 2nd Annual Brazilian Reinsurance Conference.
