BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Nonlife insurance premium volume expected to grow 2.8% in 2015: Swiss Re

January 07, 2015 Reprints

Swiss Re Ltd. expects nonlife insurance premium volume to grow by 2.8% in 2015, majorly driven by the emerging markets, where a growth of 8% is expected, Nigerian daily Business Day reported.

Swiss Re Chief Economist Kurt Karl said stronger economic activity will improve premium growth, but profitability will "still be challenging because of the low investment yields."

Meanwhile, lower reinsurance purchase in China and softening rates for property catastrophe reinsurance mean that reinsurance premium growth could be lower than in the nonlife sector, the reinsurer said.
