The Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers and Reinsurers (FAIR) is progressing with the arrangements for its 29th FAIR Conference and General Assembly, which will take place from 5-8 October 2025 at the JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar Hotel, India, under the theme "Emerging Markets - Towards Resilient Growth."
The theme reflects the vital role of emerging economies in driving global insurance and reinsurance, while addressing challenges such as geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainties, currency volatility, tightening regulations, cyber risks, and climate change.
This year’s gathering will bring together more than 1,000 insurance and reinsurance leaders representing 46 countries across Africa, Asia, and Europe. Plenary sessions will feature international experts on political risk, financial innovation, and sustainability, providing a platform for delegates to exchange knowledge, forge partnerships, and explore opportunities for resilient growth.
India, one of the fastest-growing insurance markets globally, has been chosen as the host country, with Mumbai as its vibrant financial hub. The conference is hosted by GIC Re, India’s leading reinsurance company, which plays a pivotal role in developing local markets and fostering regional collaboration.
