Marsh Asia Directors' Series - Issue 2 2013

Businesses across Asia should undertake a detailed business interruption review as a way to quicken the recovery process once an event happens, according to new report published today.

The latest Marsh Asia Directors’ Series takes an in-depth look at the complexities of managing specialty insurance claims, including business interruption, trade credit, and political risk. These classes of insurance, in particular, often pose significant challenges for businesses that are recovering from an event or disruption.

The report provides useful insights into navigating business interruption claims, which occur from lost revenue after an event, trade credit claims, which arise when customers default on their payment obligations, and political risk claims, which occur when business assets are expropriated, nationalized, or the victim of political violence.
