  "account": "The global reinsurance market is expected to see further pressure on prices at the year-end renewals, according to brokers and analysts. Despite having ample capital, reinsurers such as Munich Re, Swiss Re, and Hannover Rück are likely to face price reductions of 10-15% due to increased competition and alternative capital from Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS). The market is also seeing a rise in demand for reinsurance coverage, particularly for natural disasters and cyber risks, with Swiss Re and Munich Re stating they are ready to meet this demand.",
  "summary": "Prior to the industry meeting in Baden-Baden, large brokers expect further pressure on reinsurance premiums. However, contract negotiations are likely to be about more than just prices.",
