This session hands the stage to the customers of CPRI banks to dissect whether current insurance capacity and product offerings truly meet their needs. We then go to the heart of the matter with a technical walk-through of the claims and recovery lifecycle, from initial default to final payout, examining what works, what doesn't, and where the friction points lie.

·       How banks are embedding credit insurance alongside syndication and SRT from origination to unlock lending headroom

·       If banks choose to centralize their insurance operations, what is the benefit of them then setting up dedicated insurance distribution desks in key markets like New York and Singapore?

·       Is there enough insurance/reinsurance capacity for your needs, especially for large, complex, or emerging market risks?

·       What's working (and what's not) in current policy wordings, structures, and placement speed?

·       Common pitfalls, emerging trends, and the latest tools that help maximise returns and minimise friction

·       What can insurers do better to improve the product? Insurers are clear about how they expect banks to act in a claims situation but how do banks expect insurers to act (other than prompt payment of a valid claim of course) and what puts them off working with certain insurers?

·       What do banks think of emerging trading platforms, most notably CRMX on Bloomberg, which connect them directly with credit insurers? What type of business do they look to place on these platforms and why is it not used more often?
