Details

With the raging geopolitical disruptions, declining oil prices and slow economic growth, the business environment is getting tougher everywhere. The Middle East is no exception. Planning for 2018 is a big question. What will 2018 bring? With FinTech/InsurTech, is insurance being railroaded or enhanced? Are the economic conditions conducive to growth and development? Will managing risks get easier? Will more corporates and people buy insurance? Will insurers be able to face the challenge of finding growth and boosting profitability?
