Crisis management products will become fundamental elements of risk managers' insurance portfolios as global conflicts continue. In March 2025, global (re)insurer MS Amlin bound a reinsurance scheme that could provide €1 billion in war risk cover annually to Ukrainian SMEs insured by three local Ukrainian insurers. This innovative scheme aims to stimulate business activity growth with a view to a post-war Ukraine's reconstruction. While, at the time of writing, resolution of the Ukrainian conflict may seem far away, the Ukraine reinsurance facility is an example of just how London and international (re)insurance markets can and do act to promote the reconstruction and recovery of war-torn regions and countries. One hopes that global conflicts will find peaceful resolution in the coming 12 months and, if they do, we predict the insurance market will be ready to de-risk peacetime investment.
