Insurance companies are facing the challenge of adapting to a higher interest rate environment and persistent inflation, while also anticipating a looming global recession. In order to maintain a balanced and risk-averse portfolio, insurers are searching for reliable and diversified returns. Additionally, they are striving to align with ESG objectives in a volatile business climate.

A wide range of topics will be covered at this event, and our economist Bernard Aw will do the opening keynote on "macro trends in 2024 - high inflation, high rates and slow growth".

This event is dedicated to the mission of mitigating risks in both international and domestic commercial transactions, all while fostering the secure advancement of Polish enterprises.

Following the pandemic, the past two editions of the event were held in a hybrid format. This year, we are excited to extend an invitation to join us in person at the esteemed POLIN Conference Center in Warsaw. Live broadcast will be also available.
