Reinsurance is a practice where an agreement is made between a reinsurance company and an insurance company to cover some risk of the claims made by the customers to the insurance company. This is done to reduce the risk to the insurance company. During the pandemic, insurance companies saw a rise in the growth of claims made in the life & health insurance sector. The economic and social disruption due to the pandemic increased, which increased insurance claims, and companies have taken a digital approach to resolve the issues in their customer services. As a result of the pandemic, rising excesses for primary insurers and higher premium rates in reinsurance policies were observed. This is said to be a factor that will give rise to the need for reinsurance in the sector.

Switzerland offers a suitable environment for insurance and reinsurance undertakings. Many of the global key players are based in Switzerland. For instance, Gross premiums generated by reinsurance undertakings under the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority supervision in Switzerland remained stable in recent years compared with the previous year.
