Turkey marks Insurance Week with focus on climate risks and digital growth
Various Turkish business organizations and industry leaders are observing Insurance Week, highlighting the sector's role in economic stability and risk management.
TOBB President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu noted that climate change and increasing natural disasters have transformed environmental issues into global economic drivers, necessitating stronger insurance protection for individuals and businesses. Similarly, Özgür Yılmaz of the TOBB Insurance Agents Executive Committee emphasized that digital transformation should serve as a tool for agents rather than a replacement for human expertise.
In Aydın, the Aydın Chamber of Commerce (AYTO) held a wreath-laying ceremony to mark the occasion, with officials stressing the importance of trust and sustainability within the industry.
Looking ahead, the Sigorta Tatbikatçıları Derneği (STD) has announced the 18th International Istanbul Insurance Conference, scheduled for October 7, 2026. The event will bring together domestic and international experts to discuss climate-related risks, financial resilience, and the future of global reinsurance markets.
