February BUlletin: Celebrating 90 years of supporting trade and investment

26/02/2024
Publications

Granite is a visual symbol of longevity, the traditional symbol of a 90th birthday. We mark Berne Union’s 90th anniversary, and the first BUlletin of 2024, with a vintage edition. Features range from our vision of the importance of the organisation since 1934, and its bright future, the state of global infrastructure finance, Middle East risks in focus, and several articles on insurance and investment in Africa. Enjoy!

Thanks to contributing authorsRobert Besseling, PANGEA-RISK; Byron Shoulton, FCIA; Gerald Butts, Eurasia Group; Annabelle K Buzingo, ATIDI; Chris Mitman, Investec; Hussein Sefian, Acre Impact Capital; and the Berne Union's own Paul Heaney and Lewis Evans
