Lockdown hasn’t quite ended, but little shoots of normality are appearing as countries begin to reopen. Our recent weekly updates contain helpful summaries of key data, trends and analysis to help insurance company investemnt bosses cut through the noise.
In the UK and developed world, the debate is now shifting to the when and how of reopening for business, but what the path out of lockdown is and how long it takes remains an open question. Meanwhile, some of the emerging hotspots we identified in earlier updates are now rapidly escalating, with South America and Russia particularly prominent.
A third wave as Covid-19 shifts to new geographical foci cannot be ruled out, and we note that this week saw the highest number of new cases globally in a day, reiterating that this is not done yet. Despite volatility and other financial data points indicating a de-escalation, risks and fragilities are all too evident.
In this uncertainty, distilling key points of relevance and planning carefully are more critical than ever for the insurance community going forward.
