With the regional insurance market entering a new phase of development, the 6th Annual Middle East Insurance Forum (MEIF 2010), the largest and most influential annual platform for the international and regional insurance industry, will set the stage for critical debates that will shape the future of the Middle East insurance landscape.

As cautious optimism begins to return to the global economy and financial markets move towards stabilisation after recent shocks, there is no doubt that the Middle East insurance markets continue to offer huge potential for growth. A key topic to be discussed at MEIF 2010 features a Roundtable debate focused on strengthening the Reinsurance Capabilities in the Middle East, which will assess regional reinsurance trends in a recessionary climate, analyse international trends in reinsurance in the wake of the crisis in the international financial markets, assess the future outlook for the Re-Takaful market, as well as focus on tackling the challenge of the comparatively low levels of reinsurance cessions to regional players.

The 6th Annual Middle East Insurance Forum is where the market leaders will gather to chart the key trends and capitalise on new opportunities that will shape the future direction of the regional insurance industry.
