About Economic Research & Consulting
Economic Research & Consulting is Swiss Re’s centre of competence for the economic analysis of risk transfer and risk financing solutions, global business cycles and financial markets.
The group of 20 economists, based in Zurich, New York and Hong Kong, provides theoretically and empirically sound, business-oriented analyses on strategic topics of insurance, reinsurance and financial markets at a global, regional and country level.
Developments and trends in the non-life, life and financial services markets of industrialised and emerging countries are examined, including aspects such as consolidation, convergence of insurance, banking and capital markets, the impact of new technologies, the effects of deregulation, and new product trends.
The broad knowledge and expertise is embodied in the internationally respected sigma publication series, numerous articles in the press and presentations at conferences.
