Reinsurance in Luxembourg

Luxembourg has achieved its ambition to make insurance the third pillar of its financial sector, along with investment funds and banking.

It is essential for players engaged in the insurance industry to understand the specificities of the markets in which they operate.

In collaboration with PwC's subject matters experts, PwC's Academy has developed a series of 3 training modules to make a first step into the life-insurance, non-life insurance and reinsurance markets in Luxembourg and understand their key concepts and challenges.
