Research and Markets: Reinsurance in Venezuela, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2qgkkj/reinsurance_in) has announced the addition of the "Reinsurance in Venezuela, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering.

The Venezuelan reinsurance segment is concentrated, with four operational companies, all of which are owned by local business people. However, the number of reinsurers is expected to decrease over the forecast period. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters and increases in minimum capital requirements also supported the growth of Venezuelan reinsurance during the review period (2008-2012).

Venezuela's high crime rate - the country ranks as one of the most violent in Latin America - is also expected to encourage insurers to share risk with reinsurers. The segment registered a review-period compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.0%, with growth in all insurance segments and widespread flooding in 2010, 2011 and 2012 increasing demand for non-life insurance and reinsurance.
