WEBINAR | BUILDING | TECHNICAL 

Together we're watching property risk evolve rapidly for Canada's insurance market.  Inflation and recession present a dual economic threat, made worse by geopolitical turmoil.  Meanwhile, extreme climate events are accelerating in Canada and across the world.  These changes make it more urgent, yet harder, to maintain insurance-to-value across property portfolios - how are you managing the pressures and impact of inflation?  To help you navigate 2023, we're sharing expert insights from Opta, Canada's market leader in valuations.  Join this webinar to hear the latest trends in material costs and gain insights on the effects on reconstruction costs caused by economic turbulence.

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn about the latest trends in reconstruction costs across Canada
• Understand the regional/provincial impact on costs/material/labor caused by inflation, climate change and material shortages
• How has this changed year-over-year and where do we see it going?
• Gain insights on how to navigate and manage the impact and changes on your portfolio
