Rolf Dörig

The del­e­gates of the Swiss In­sur­ance As­so­ci­a­tion SIA elect­ed Ste­fan Mäder, chair­man of the Board of Di­rec­tors of Mo­bil­iar, as their new chair­man at their An­nu­al Gen­er­al Meet­ing in Basel.

Pri­vate in­sur­ers in most branch­es record­ed a mod­er­ate in­crease in pre­mi­um vol­umes in 2022, ac­cord­ing to the SIA’s pro­jec­tions.

At the ‘Day of In­sur­ers’ in Lucerne, the chair­man of the Swiss In­sur­ance As­so­ci­a­tion SIA called for more sus­tain­abil­i­ty.

The Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try saw a 2.7 per cent in­crease in pre­mi­um vol­umes for non-life busi­ness in 2021 com­pared with the pre­vi­ous year.

At the ‘Day of In­sur­ers 2021’ to­day in Lugano, Rolf Dörig, pres­i­dent of the Swiss In­sur­ance As­so­ci­a­tion SIA, em­pha­sised the im­por­tant role of the sec­tor dur­ing the coro­n­avirus pan­dem­ic.

SIA chair­man Rolf Dörig takes a look at the cur­rent chal­lenges fac­ing the Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try.

The coro­n­avirus pan­dem­ic has af­fect­ed the in­di­vid­ual in­sur­ance lines to dif­fer­ent de­grees over the past year.

The Swiss in­sur­ance in­dus­try has had a suc­cess­ful year – pre­mi­um vol­umes in both non-life and life in­sur­ance rose again in 2019.

Once more, Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers show ef­fi­cient per­for­mance and sta­bil­i­ty in 2018.
