David Burt, the Premier and Minister of Finance, met with European business officials in Warsaw at the start of the Eurofi Financial Forum.

Mr Burt, together with a delegation of Government officials and representatives of the Bermuda Monetary Authority, travelled to the forum for a series of meetings with the goal of supporting the island’s insurance sector.

A Government spokeswoman said Mr Burt took part in meetings with Petra Hielkema, the chairwoman of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, Thea Utoft Ho Jensen, director general of Insurance Europe, and Florian Wimber, head of European and International Affairs for the German Insurance Association.

The Premier later met with Jean-Paul Servais, chairman of the Financial Services and Markets Authority and the International Organization of Securities Commissions, which represents more than 130 national authorities worldwide.

Mr Burt said: “Fostering ongoing relationships is crucial to strengthening Bermuda's position as a vital player in the international insurance industry.

“Through these engagements, we are not only enhancing our global standing but also securing long-term growth and stability for the Bermudian economy.”
