The insurance market is experiencing a healing process as higher prices and lower interest rates attract more capital into reinsurance. This influx of capital has given reinsurers the upper hand in pricing negotiations, allowing them to relieve the troubled insurance market. Global reinsurers have seen a significant increase in return on equity, while primary carriers have faced higher reinsurance costs.
