Energy Insurance and Risk Management Forum
Tashkent, Uzbekistan 4-6 May 2025
On behalf of the FAIR Board of Directors, its esteemed members, and myself, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to all participants of the “Energy Insurance and Risk Management Forum.”
The energy sector remains a cornerstone of global economic development, playing a critical role in sustaining industrial, commercial, and residential needs. It is also one of the most complex sectors encompassing exploration, production, transportation, storage, and distribution of various energy sources, including oil, gas, coal, nuclear energy, wind, solar, and hydropower
Given the sector’s complex and dynamic nature, effective risk management is essential to address the various challenges and vulnerabilities it faces, such as natural disasters, price volatility, and environmental concerns.
Like many industries, the energy sector faces a wide range of risks that can significantly impact its operations, and the energy sector has no exception. The industry is exposed to risks that can lead to significant financial losses and even threaten lives. Insurance serves as a fundamental tool in supporting the energy sector’s resilience, helping companies mitigate risks and safeguard their financial stability.
We sincerely thank the organizing committee, sponsors, and all contributors for their dedicated efforts in making this forum possible.
We look forward to a successful and inspiring event that will foster valuable insights and strengthen collaboration across the industry.
Wishing you all the best and fruitful participation.
