The im­por­tance of rein­sur­ers to the Swiss econ­o­my grows every year. This is main­ly be­cause Switzer­land of­fers at­trac­tive con­di­tions for lo­cat­ing here.

Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers are ma­jor tax­pay­ers and, as such, make a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to the coun­try's pulic sec­tor.

The need for safe­ty is a fun­da­men­tal hu­man need. The Swiss are a very safe­ty-mind­ed na­tion, spend­ing more mon­ey on in­sur­ance than any oth­er.

In­sur­ance com­pa­nies are ma­jor em­ploy­ers, sig­nif­i­cant tax­pay­ers and among the largest in­vestors in Switzer­land and abroad.
