Mapfre, a Spain-based reinsurer, has started overhauling global risks business as part of its plan to strengthen management and business capacity for the corporate solutions business.

Through this exercise which also includes shutting down its Germany branch, the company also aims to bring greater financial stability and efficiency to the group.

Mapfre Global Risks offers insurance solutions to large companies, multinational coporates and businesses in global activity sectors.

As per the reorganisation plans, Mapfre Global Risks will underwrite the large risks business on behalf of the group. It will concentrate its activities where MAPFRE assumes the business lead.

Under the new structure, the issuing process will be carried out by the Mapfre companies in the various countries which will be reinsured by Mapfre Re.

Moreover, Mapfre Global Risks will shift its reinsurance business to Mapfre Re, and its insurance business to Mapfre Spain.
