This is how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) could change global economy as we know it

Imahe
The recent diplomatic event held in China last May promoted perhaps one of the most ambitious prospected projects of the century, a forum focusing on the controversial Belt and Road Initiative (BRI )— the world-changing development plan that is expected to cost almost $1 trillion. So what can the world expect from China’s BRI? According to the forum, the goals of the project will be centered on the economic growth and boost in trading for Eurasian countries. However, the proposal has garnered different reactions from the participating countries.

Managing risk capital through 'Captive Insurance'

Imahe
If your day-to-day affairs revolve around the world of business, perhaps you’ve been hearing a lot about an alternative strategy, a risk financing technique that not only got everyone curious but has also introduced another perspective in business asset protection in the form of what they have termed as, ‘ captive insurance .’ So what is a captive insurance and what are the roles of this alternative insurer as a substitute risk financing provider?  In definition, a captive insurer is generally an insurance company that is exclusively owned and managed by its insureds—most of the time, by a parent company or a group of companies. Captive insurance can be generally divided into two main groups and they are basically distinguished by who owns and operates them. ‘Sponsored captives’ for instance are entirely maintained by an outside party that is unrelated to the insured while a ‘pure captive’ is wholly and purely owned and controlled by its insured. The latter is the most
