Welcome to the first day of our coverage from the 2023 Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous

It's been a busy start to this year’s event as the industry gathers on the Côte d'Azur for the first time since 2019.

As predicted, inflation is playing a pivotal role in many of the discussions to date and is likely to remain a consistent theme throughout 1.1 renewal talks (and beyond).

This morning we present another packed daily edition bringing you news, insight and analysis on the key issues in this year’s Monte Carlo agenda.

Today’s news agenda includes plans for the newly launched Ageas Re as well as the rebrand of MS Amlin to MS Reinsurance, which creates clear blue water between it and Lloyd’s (re)insurer MS Amlin.

We recap other developments from Day 1 including details of a series of interviews hosted by The Insurer TV at this year’s event.

Our regular ranking of the Top 10 Reinsurance Brokers returns for another year – scroll down to see who ranks highest in this year’s listing.

We also present analysis on the OECD’s planned minimum tax rate – and the potential impact on hubs such as Bermuda – and PwC’s latest run-off survey as well as interviews with leading industry executives including Hiscox CEO Aki Hussain.

If you are attending the Rendez-Vous, you can pick up a hard copy of our latest daily edition in the hotels and Casino Square each morning...
