London Market Competitiveness & Global Operations
- What makes a market competitive? Is London still the world’s foremost centre of insurance – or has this shifted to other territories such as Bermuda? What makes Lloyd’s special, and are these qualities still relevant and unique to that market?
- How swiftly can capital respond to market needs in Lloyd’s, London and other jurisdictions?
- How important are capital security, national regulatory and tax regimes in determining competitiveness?
- Is it correct to think in terms of separate national markets, or should all insurers be thinking and acting as global operations?
- Could the “Class of 2001” or “Class of 2005” ever happen again, or has the market evolved beyond such responses to crises? What does the current economic turmoil mean for the insurance industry globally?
