It didn’t rain enough at Monte Carlo during the September Reinsurance Rendezvous, putting paid to the hopes of industry heavyweights who were following the old dictum that when it rains during the event, the market will turn.

So what’s the latest on reinsurance rates following the rendezvous, and what does it all mean for the local market? You’ll find plenty of answers in this month’s edition of Insurance News (the magazine), which is being posted out to subscribers this week.

The region’s largest and most-read insurance publication also looks at the industry’s focus on resilience in cyclone-prone northern Australia to take the place of what it sees as stopgap government programs.

We also meet three senior insurance industry women who simply weren’t aware there was a glass ceiling, we examine the challenging world of the Internet of Things, and investigate a new risk that could turn Australian homes and business into deathtraps.

Plus the usual industry and legal backgrounders, interesting people and all the other things that make Insurance News (the magazine) the most popular insurance industry print publication in the region. And it’s free to subscribers.
