The president of CNseg informed that he will intensify the dialogue with the government, market supervision bodies and society as a whole, improving institutional communication, in order to ratify that the insurance sector is strategic for the development of the country and vital to reduce the vulnerabilities of people and companies in the face of risks, and as a result, it should be an activity fostered to feed back its own economic growth, whether by taking risks of different natures, or as an institutional investor. According to Dyogo Oliveira, a higher level dialogue plans to establish “a win-win relationship for everyone” – society, government and the insurance market.
