Reinsurance remains the quiet force that steadies the insurance sector, anchored in partnership, expertise, and the shared belief that progress is built together. Each year, this compendium reminds me just how interconnected our industry truly is.

This edition highlights that spirit of collaboration and momentum. Inside, you’ll find insights on Swiss Re Africa’s 75-year journey on the continent, shifting regulatory and market dynamics, the evolving talent landscape, and the innovation reshaping how cedants, reinsurers, and brokers work together. These perspectives reflect an industry that isn’t just adapting to change, but actively leading it.

Africa’s reinsurance market is becoming more connected, more capable, and more ambitious. Yes, the challenges persist, data gaps, volatility, regulatory shifts, but so do the opportunities to build something stronger and more resilient.

Thank you to all our contributors and to you, our readers, for your continued curiosity and engagement. I hope these pages inspire fresh thinking and reaffirm the belief that our industry’s best chapters lie ahead.
