OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In this A.M. BestTV episode, on location from the Rendez-vous de Septembre (Rendez-vous) reinsurance conference in Monte Carlo, the hot topic on the fourth day how to jump start business growth. Some of the ways cited include exploring new geographic regions, emerging risks, private/public partnerships or other long-term opportunities. Click on http://www.ambest.com/v.asp?v=rvs4915 to view the video program.

“The biggest challenges can also present the biggest opportunities,” said Julian James, president, global markets, Allied World Assurance. “Look at the gap between economic and insured losses, it is extremely large and when the impact of Sept. 11 is added, the gap between the losses in the economy and what was actually insured (as recent data shows) has never been closed. Furthermore, the gap becomes even more acute when you look at some of the developing countries, as the industry has not discovered the products to fill this gap, making it a very disappointing situation for the industry.”
