This Working Party provides a forum for GI actuaries to discuss local and international GI issues impacting members in the region, as well as the opportunity to further research in specific regional issues.
There is an incredible amount of change in the international arena that will serve to keep GI actuaries around the world busy.
The effect of changes brought by the rapid development of emerging insurance markets or data analytics for example, are felt locally in our day-to-day work, but in many cases the ‘actuarial issue’ is commonly shared across international borders.
In recognition of the common issues impacting GI actuaries across borders, the IFoA has launched a GI international Working Party in the Asia region.

An overview of the Pragmatic Stochastic Reserving Working Party's recent paper "A Practitioner’s Introduction to Stochastic Reserving: The One year view" which can be downloaded from the working party's page on the IFoA website. The talk will be introductory. I will describe and discuss three commonly use methods for calculating one-year reserve risk: the Merz-Wüthrich formula, the Actuary-in-the-Box, and Emergence Patterns. I will avoid technical details as far as possible, and attempt to give an intuitive description of the methods, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.
