If there's any doubt about the presence and strength of the London market as an insurance and reinsurance center, just flip through the program book for the annual Reinsurance Rendez-vous de Septembre, which took place earlier this month in Monte Carlo, observed the chair of Lloyd's, Lord Peter Levene.

During an interview with National Underwriter at the meeting, Lord Levene actually counted the number of pages of reinsurers, listed by country, in the Rendez-Vous program.

“I think London is in good shape,” he said. “It's interesting. If you look at the program, you've got Switzerland, three pages; Italy, three pages; Germany, four pages; France, 12 pages; United States, five pages; Bermuda, six pages. And then you have the U.K.–24 pages.”
