Bermuda finance minister leads delegation to RIMS conference

Bermuda finance minister Curtis Dickinson has lead a delegation of government, regulatory and industry personnel to the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) annual conference this week.

RIMS began on April 28, and finishes on May 1 this year. It attracts 10,000 risk-management professionals, legal, compliance and finance directors, along with other senior executives from over 70 countries.

Dickinson will be accompanied by assistant financial secretary Pam Burrows, and premier David Burt will be joining the delegation later in the week.

"Bermuda's re/insurance market has a unique legacy that has long been recognised for its innovative solutions and significant contributions to communities around the world," said Dickinson.

"This annual event is a platform to showcase everything Bermuda has to offer, from world-class industry expertise to innovative products to top-tier regulation. We look forward to promoting Bermuda's well-established relationships, and making new ones."

Numerous Bermuda insurance representatives will be present, including the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) and the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA).

"Bermuda has been a high-profile participant at RIMS for several decades, and we're proud to represent the island and our insurance industry once again," said BDA CEO Andy Burrows. "RIMS gives Bermuda's leading market an excellent platform to showcase our companies, our pool of expertise, and our jurisdiction to relevant audiences, and Boston offers us additional opportunities to connect with corporate decision-makers in other industries as well."
