Uzbekistan hosts international insurance forum

The FAIR Energy Insurance and Risk Management Forum was held in the capital of Uzbekistan, bringing together over 100 representatives of leading insurance and brokerage companies from more than 20 countries, along with 50 international organizations. The forum provided a platform for experts to exchange best practices and explore sustainable solutions for the industry. It also fostered international cooperation with investment institutions from the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. Experts emphasized that, at present, the energy sector is a cornerstone of global economic development, encompassing exploration, production, transportation, storage, and distribution of various energy sources. Such a broad scope involves significant risks, making insurance a vital tool in ensuring the sector’s resilience. According to experts, this topic is particularly relevant for Central Asia, where the energy industry is undergoing rapid development.

«This event is especially important not only for us but also for FAIR, as it focuses on the latest developments and key issues in insurance and risk management within the energy sector. We are pleased to host them in Uzbekistan, particularly as many projects—especially investment projects in the energy sector—are currently being implemented in the country, driven by rapid economic growth and significant investment inflows,» said Oybek Khalilov, Chairman of the Association of Professional Participants of the Insurance Market, Uzbekistan.

«We have been cooperating with Uzbekistan and its insurance market for a long time, maintaining a close and productive relationship. This event provides an opportunity to meet all our key partners on one platform to discuss current issues, future projects, and the collaboration between our companies and countries. We are currently facing numerous opportunities,» said Sergey Gavrilov, Deputy CEO of an insurance company in Kazakhstan.
