From the impact of the UK Financial Conduct Authority business interruption test case, and other BI cases around the world, to the ongoing hardening market, 2020 is expected to leave quite a legacy for 2021. Industry leaders share their hopes, fears and warnings as we head towards the New Year.

As a year that will remain in the collective memory for years to come, Intelligent Insurer asked re/insurance industry leaders to tell us what the main developments have been for the industry in the past 12 months and how they think this will affect 2021. From the crucial role of technology to the ongoing fallout from the UK FCA’s business interruption test case, our interviewees had plenty to say about this unprecedented year, and what they hope to see in the year ahead.
