Africa’s Reinsurers Concerned about Lower Profitability, Uncertain Economic Outlook

The mood among Africa’s reinsurance executives has become more bearish as declining rates and rising claims weigh on the profitability of the African reinsurance markets with a current premium volume of roughly US$ 7.5 billion.

While Africa’s economies are still recovering from the commodity crisis of 2016, which highlighted the continent’s vulnerability to external shocks, executives are once again concerned about the current outlook in light of renewed economic and political uncertainties.

This is the main outcome of the 4th edition of the Africa Reinsurance Pulse, which was published at yesterday’s 24th African Reinsurance Forum in Tunis, Tunisia.

Why Women are Driving Rethinking of the Sales Model (2)

When you recognise that women are not just the majority but actually the vast majority of consumers, and that their power is only going to increase, it completely changes the commercial urgency of getting to grips with women buyers.’ In a day and age when everyone can buy almost anything from anywhere, the “feelgood” factor at every customer touchpoint has never been more important. Youth is Not What it Appears to Be While many marketers still seem obsessed with talking to Gen X and Y consumers, and still think of them as the longest term market worth tapping, the most powerful women financially are often past their youth.
