Summary |
Insurance Banana Skins 2011 surveys the risks facing the insurance industry at a time of considerable market turbulence, and identifies those that appear most urgent to insurance practitioners and close observers of the insurance scene around the world.
The report, which updates previous surveys in 2008 and 2009, was conducted in March and April 2011, and is based on 490 responses from 40 countries.
The questionnaire (reproduced in the Appendix) was in three parts. In the first, respondents were asked to describe, in their own words, their main concerns about the insurance sector over the next 2-3 years. In the second, they were asked to rate a list of potential “Banana Skins”, both by severity and whether they were rising, steady or falling. In the third, they were asked to rate the preparedness of insurance institutions to handle the risks they saw. This report ranks and analyses each Banana Skin individually.
Replies were confidential, but respondents could choose to be identified.
