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”.

BRASILIA, Brazil The Brazilian Official Federal Register has published the bill that finally ends the monopoly of the Brazilian reinsurance market.

The monopoly was exercised by the Brazilian Reinsurance Institute (IRB).

The government owns 51% of the IRB with the balance owned by private sector investors.

Under the new rules, international reinsurance companies that have operated for more than five years in their country of origin are now allowed to invest in IRB.
