  • Changes in economic activity, commodity prices and asset prices
  • Increase in government debt and the effect on bond markets
  • Changes in investor/policyholder behaviour
  • Changes in regulation
  • Preparing for the next pandemic.
  • Innovations in mortality modelling that can explain or capture shocks and are relevant to the understanding of industry impacts.
