• Currently still robust global economic growth beneficial for (re)insurance markets despite continued low-interest burden
• 2008 financial crisis with lasting effects, propelling fundamental political shifts in Western democracies
• Brexit a touchstone for future functioning of policy making in both the UK and EU, outcome still characterised by a broad range of scenarios
