Insurance: Mergers and acquisitions on sharp increase

According to the latest S & C Global Market Intelligence estimates, mergers and acquisitions are expected to rise by 150% to reach 44 billion USD in 2018. This is the most significant performance since 2005.

This growth benefits from the tax reforms initiated in the United States and partly from the reemergence of AIG on the market. After years of crisis, the US insurance giant is reinvesting in the sector and especially in insurance startups.

However, there are some lingering doubts regarding the sector. The rise of the collaborative economy and the development of autonomous vehicles have introduced some concern.
