Facing Future Energy Risk - Virtual Roundtable

Russell Group asked a panel of leading figures in the Energy re/insurance market for their view on two questions on risk accumulation and the lessons learned from the Macondo disaster. The responses highlight that  the market is looking to its risk exposures ever more closely.

Russell Group MD Suki Basi who participated in the Marine and Energy Risk magazine debate said: "Following the major losses of the past the question is have any lessons been learned by the industry? On the face of it, the answer looks to be no. What the market needs to do is to look at how it can effectively gather the granular information it requires, use the information to build up its aggregation models and test its exposures against various differing scenarios that have to include multi-insured events."
