A.M. Best executives, Dr Roger Sellek, CEO, EMEA & Asia-Pacific, and Ms Susanna Lam, Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, will host the seminar.
Mr Pravej Ongartsittigu, Secretary General, Office of Insurance Commission, will give the opening address.
Thailand, in common with other Southeast Asian countries, is experiencing major developments in its insurance market. The implementation of a risk-based capital framework in 2011 brought benefits to the industry by strengthening risk management, improving financial transparency and ensuring better risk returns. Yet market fragmentation
and competition remain, and on the horizon, the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community moves ever closer, heralding in a new set of opportunities and challenges for the Thai market and the region. At this complimentary seminar, speakers from A.M.
Best will be joined by regional and local market practitioners to discuss topics and issues currently facing the Thai insurance market as it looks towards a new era.
The seminar will provide insight and discussion on the following topics.
- Rating Development in Southeast Asia Markets
- A.M. Best Rating Methodology and the Importance of ERM & CAT Risk Management for Insurers
- Case Study: Thailand Insurance Market
- Panel Discussion: Thailand Insurance Market: Towards a New Era
The seminar will conclude with a luncheon. To view the agenda, please visit www.ambest.com/conferences/thailand/index.html :
