Congratulations to our board member Peter O. on his recent appointment as Head of WTW South Africa and Head of Corporate Risk & Broking (CRB) South Africa. We wish you the absolute best on this exciting new chapter.

Adeyemi Kehinde and Insurance Institute of South Africa I appreciate the thorough and enlightening session this morning. I think the other added challenge for reinsurers operating in the African continent is the low insurance penetration rate which ultimately reduces the scale at which African Reinsurers can operate, making it really difficult to achieve economies of scale and spread risk effectively. I'll be on the lookout for part two of this session!
