2013-02-16 16:06:20 - Recently published research from Timetric, "Reinsurance in Ireland, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017", is now available at Fast Market Research

Ireland has a well established international insurance and reinsurance business, with many of the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance companies operating in the country. Ireland’s double taxation treaties with many of the world’s leading industrialized nations, as well as its favorable tax environment, have made it one of the leading global destinations for the captive insurance business.

Key Highlights

* During the review period (2008–2012) the nation’s reinsurance segment registered varying growth rates on a year-on-year (YOY) basis, due to the adverse impact of the global financial crisis and the subsequent European debt crisis.
* Proposed regulatory changes in the reinsurance segment will expose new challenges and opportunities with respect to competitive differentiation.
* Ireland is one of the leading

international reinsurance markets accounting for over 10% of global reinsurance written premiums.
* Reinsurance plays a significant role in the Irish insurance industry as local insurance companies cede part of their written premium to reinsurance companies in order to avoid excessive risks from unforeseen events.
* A number of natural disasters affected Ireland during the review period and this increased the demand for reinsurance services in the country.
* More than half the global top twenty reinsurers have operations in Ireland.
