After a year of unprecedented disruptions, and a near standstill of movements of people and goods, trade will be a major driver of economic recovery.

This Insurance Asset Risk webinar, supported by Allianz GI, will explore the intricacies of these assets and how to overcome some of the challenges they pose.
