Hannover Re chief executive, Ulrich Wallin, will deliver a keynote speech on the second day of next year’s Insurance Day Summit London, it has been announced.
Wallin joins the ever-expanding list of heads of industry already confirmed as participating in the prestigious two-day event which takes place over May 15 and 16.

Some of the issues expected to feature on the Insurance Day Summit London agenda include the continuing implications of the euro crisis and sovereign debt for the insurance industry, the impact of the rise of China and other global markets, the future of the UK’s new regulatory infrastructure and capital management and movement in the wake of 2011’s record cat bill.
