Steven Chirico, director, AM Best, will participate in a panel discussion, titled, "Current State of the Reinsurance Market," to be held Wednesday, June 7, at 9:00 a.m. (CDT). This high-level panel will examine the latest hot topics in the reinsurance market and the factors behind the recent challenging reinsurance renewals. AM Best currently holds a stable market segment outlook on the global reinsurance industry given the positive pricing momentum, enhanced market discipline, including tighter terms and conditions and a growing demand for reinsurance capacity.
