Anthony Palmer, Deputy Chairman of BPL Global, joined the credit and political risk insurance (CPRI) market in 1975 a time when, in most countries, it often comprised of just one export credit agency (ECA) and one domestic insurer. The Lloyd’s market offered limited pure political risk cover, while export cover against pre-shipment risks was in its infancy.
Things have come a long way. In a feature-length interview with TXF magazine, Anthony discusses establishing BPL Global in 1983, and the key events that have shaped the CPRI market’s development: Lloyd’s regulatory changes, insurance market cycles and geo-political events, from the fall of the Soviet Union to the Asian crisis.
While the interview covers change, it also looks to the future, with Anthony describing BPL Global’s commitment to remaining an independent, employee-owned, specialist broker.
