The 6th Annual Middle East Insurance Forum (MEIF 2010), the region's largest and most influential annual platform for the international and regional insurance industry, has set the stage for a series of stimulating roundtables that will assess the changing landscape of the dynamic Middle East insurance markets.

With the regional insurance market entering a new phase of exciting development characterized by the introduction of tighter supervision, new compulsory insurance, liberalisation and the opening of markets, more than 400 delegates, representing decision-makers from Arab and international insurance and reinsurance companies, regulatory agencies, brokers, and banking & finance organisations, will participate in the Forum. In the aftermath of the global economic crisis, key topics to be discussed include a Roundtable debate focusing on Optimising Asset/Liability Management in a Turbulent Environment, which will examine how leading insurance players are revising their investment strategies in light of the turmoil in the international financial markets, and what approaches investment managers are now recommending to their clients.
