This webinar examines rising exposure to political violence and geopolitical disruption across the Gulf and wider Middle East.

Hear from panellists: Sandy Warne, active underwriter, Sukoon; Daniel Callow, lead underwriter, political violence and war, Starr; Cosmo Warner, director, war, terrorism and political violence, Price Forbes; with GR editor David Benyon asking the questions.

Recent events have pushed these risks firmly back into focus, with missile and drone attacks affecting infrastructure and security perceptions across parts of the GCC.

Concerns around regional stability have also heightened corporate awareness of geopolitical risk. Against this backdrop, insurers and reinsurers are reassessing underwriting approaches as political violence exposures evolve across multiple territories.

Businesses in the region are increasingly evaluating protection against political violence, while insurers face the challenge of pricing risk in an environment where geopolitical tensions can escalate quickly.

The discussion will explore whether recent events represent a defining moment for the political violence market in the region and how perceptions of the threat environment have shifted in the UAE and wider GCC.

Panellists will also consider the possible market response once the current crisis subsides, including whether demand for cover could expand and whether recent claims experience signals a turning point for pricing at renewals.
