Geopolitical trends 2026: The impact on insurance, trade, and shipping


In this IIL marine and energy webinar, Babak Tavassolie discusses major geopolitical trends in 2026 and how they might affect risk calculations for (re)insurers. He specifically focuses on the competition between the US and China, as well as major conflicts around the world and their impacts.
Multipolarity means many things to different people – risks for some are opportunities for others. In this session, the speaker explains why geopolitics can’t be viewed in isolation; other megatrends, such as demographics and climate change, must also be considered.
Finally, Babak explains that geopolitical shifts provide opportunities for reinsurance/insurance – if new risks are well understood.
