Industry

After a decade of the Asia CAT Conference series, we return to the same launch theme with a twist, adding innovation – ie “Innovative

CAT Solutions to Meet the Rising Risk Exposures in Asia”. 2012 was relatively benign compared to the costliest hits of 2011

when the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, and the Thai Floods took centre stage. But Asia is ranked as the region most severely affected by NAT CATs. In 2012, 83 large natural disasters hit Asia causing 3103 deaths, affecting64.5millionpeoplewithUS$15billion in economicdamages. China, the Philippines and Indonesia were the hardest hit in Asia. From 1950 to 2011, nine out of 10 people affected by disasters worldwide were in Asia.

The Insurance industry has a critical role to play in bringing CAT protection and CAT risk management strategies to the region. The frequency of disasters and intensity of damages call for immediate action for long-term sustainable solutions. Drawing lessons from the history of disaster relief and the CAT market experiences, the 11th Asia CAT Conference will focus on innovative realistic solutions based on the basics of the role of insurance in society and the economy. With the changing risk profile in the region and climate change exacerbating NAT CATs, the risks must be measured and assessed and mitigated. Can the insurers, brokers, and reinsurers make a difference in the market? How to bring greater awareness in the market where despite the increasing exposures, the rates remain weak? Do governments have a role to play? Is there a science to measure these risk exposures accurately? Can data and analytics reign supreme? Are modelling agencies living up to their promise? Are business interruptions and secondary perils counted in the game? Can regulations and regulators have an impact on the CAT Market?

These are some of the critical issues to be tackled at the CAT Conference in Taipei, whose success stor y with TREIPs is salutary.

T his annual C AT co nfe re n ce is a MUST ATTEND fo r C AT underwriters, reinsurers, CAT modellers, brokers as

well as all involved in this volatile CAT business as the insurance industryMUSTrespondtothe

buying public’s needs for protection against these disasters.
