GTR+ Insurance 2022

The long-anticipated insolvency time bomb – kept at bay by government support for businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic – might finally be about to explode. This year’s GTR+ Credit and Political Risk Insurance publication explores the increased need for risk mitigation. Our risk report takes a look at the complexities of the evolving geopolitical and economic landscape, while our roundtable discussion finds that while there is much liquidity in the market, it is largely being funnelled towards a relatively small number of investment-grade assets. We also take a deep dive into legal battles between insurers and trade financiers, the rapid onset of digitalisation in the market, and efforts to standardise insurance policy wordings.
