Munich Re Foundation "2009 report"

The financial crisis cast a long shadow over 2009. The crisis not only left its mark globally but may even mark the beginning of a new era. It was against this background that we started our latest dialogue forum last autumn under the title of “The world in flux”.
 
The 5th International Microinsurance Conference in Senegal was very well attended despite the economic crisis. Participation by over 400 experts from 64 countries is proof of increasing worldwide interest in insurancebased solutions to fight poverty.
 
The foundation will be celebrating its fifth anniversary on 7 April 2010 – a perfect opportunity to look back on our work and achievements of the last few years. In line with our motto “From Knowledge to Action”, we will continue to tap into our benefactor’s huge fund of knowledge and use it for the benefit of the people most at risk.
