Markets in Focus :: General Q1 2023
February 15, 2023
COVID-19 caused a quick shift in the insurance industry in a number of ways. Technology is now more essential than ever in order for companies to run smoothly utilizing a virtual workspace.¹ As a result of the low-interest rates, demand for liquidity and the possibility of unexpected occurrences, organizations are being forced to modify their practices and specialize their insurance programs.¹
The lack of adequate coverage is not only an issue for developing and established companies, but is also mirrored on a worldwide scale.¹ As the post-pandemic world gains more visibility, insurers will need to reassess how they connect with their customers, distributors, investors and other important parties.¹ There is growing anticipation for the industry to take the lead in creating transformation regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns worldwide.¹

To learn more about these and other factors impacting the industry, please read our latest Markets in Focus :: General report.
