Barriers to Trade
Reinsurance markets enable the efficient and effective diversification of risk globally and thereby promote continued growth and recovery of global and national economies. For reinsurance markets to function well, they need to be able to pool different forms of catastrophic and non-catastrophic risk. Barriers to trade in reinsurance therefore undermine the efficiency of reinsurance markets by reducing competition, leading to less choice for consumers and result in higher reinsurance costs and less capacity over the long time horizon.
