Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair will be speaking at this year’s FIDES – described as the biggest insurance conference in Latin America – in Rio de Janeiro.
Taking place from September 24 to 26, 2023, the FIDES Western Hemisphere Insurance Conference is organised every two years by the Inter-American Federation of Insurance Companies. Previous editions were held in Chile (2015), El Salvador (2017), and Bolivia (2019).
Blair is joining fellow keynote speakers Luis Alberto Moreno, former president of the Inter-American Development Bank, and Nobel Prize winner in economics Paul Krugman. Panellists, meanwhile, include leaders from the likes of Munich Re, Aon, Allianz Commercial, Swiss Re, and AIG.
Organisers of FIDES Rio 2023 said in a release: “Blair’s unrivalled international experience, both as prime minister and after leaving office, gives him a unique perspective on world events and a political vision that offers solutions to the crucial challenges of our time.”
