Insurers are suffering on European stock exchanges over fears about the US economy and conflict with Iraq.

The risk sector was hit particularly hard in early trading today after Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan presented a pessimistic analysis of the US economy.

Axa fell by 5.85% with Allianz down by 4.11% and Fortis down by 2.12%.

Allianz had earlier said it was boosting a US subsidiary by $750m to cover asbestos and environmental liabilities.

Britain's Royal & SunAlliance was down by 3.72%.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
