FAIR 2025 Conference - A Global Gathering of Reinsurers and Insurers in Mumbai
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 29: General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re) is honoured to announce that registrations are now open for the 29th FAIR (Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers and Reinsurers) Conference, to be held in the vibrant city of Mumbai from 5th to 8th October 2025.
The Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers and Reinsurers (FAIR) is a professional business association committed to promoting regional cooperation and advancing the insurance industry across Afro-Asian countries. Given FAIR's strong brand recognition and its network of 204 member companies across 52 countries, the conference brings together a diverse array of nationalities and cultures. Being a biennial event held since 1967, the 2025 edition will be the 29th FAIR Conference which also coincides with the 60th anniversary of FAIR.
This seminal event promises to unite a distinguished assembly of leaders, strategists, regulators, and practitioners from the insurance and reinsurance fraternity across Asia, Africa, and the broader global risk landscape.
Held under the resonant theme "Emerging Markets - Towards Resilient Growth", this edition invites the industry to contemplate not only the opportunities but also the responsibilities of navigating an era defined by systemic volatility, technological disruption, geopolitical flux, and climate unpredictability. It serves as a clarion call to industry visionaries: to forge new pathways of collaboration, embrace sustainable innovation, and strengthen regional self-reliance amidst global uncertainties. Notably, this edition also features insights from industry experts on enhancing insurance accessibility through reinsurance strategies, in alignment with IRDAI's Vision 2047.
Carrying forward FAIR's legacy as a beacon of dialogue and direction, the Mumbai Conference is poised to welcome over 600 delegates, representing a cross-section of markets, institutions, and thought traditions. The multi-layered agenda will feature keynote sessions from global policy architects and reinsurance pioneers, strategic panel discussions and opportunities for bilateral meetings.
As Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote, "The future enters into us long before it happens." FAIR 2025 seeks to be that very threshold -- where the invisible challenges of tomorrow are named, shaped, and faced. We welcome you to Mumbai, not just as a location but as a metaphor -- a city that reflects the spirit of emergence and endurance. Here, amidst dialogue and diversity, we aim to build not just strategies, but a shared resilience worthy of the age we inhabit.

US LNG exports surge in July, LSEG data show
US exports in July close to record Exports to Latin America increase LNG prices in both Asia and Europe fall in July HOUSTON, - Exports of U.S. liquefied natural gas jumped to 9.1 million metric tons in July, marking a sharp increase from June as some plants exited maintenance activities and Venture Global's Plaquemines facility ramped up production, preliminary data from financial firm LSEG showed. The U.S. is the world's largest exporter of LNG and July's output was its third highest on record. This year the U.S. has seen three of its highest ever monthly LNG production figures, according to LSEG data. U.S. LNG shipments could have been higher had its third- largest export facility, Freeport LNG, not experienced several unplanned outages, reporting seven power outages at its plants to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality during the month of July. Its output fell in July to 1.3 million metric tons from 1.4 MT in June, LSEG data showed. The U.S. could double its LNG export capacity by 2030, based on projects already under construction and expected to get the financial greenlight as the industry builds momentum following U.S. President Donald's Trump's vow to bolster the country's energy industry. This week Venture Global gave a positive final investment decision for its massive 28 million metric tons per annum CP2 facility in Louisiana. In July, Plaquemines, also in Louisiana, exported 1.4 MT of the superchilled gas, compared to 1.2 MT in June, helping the U.S. get to 9.1 MT in July, compared to 8.4 MT in June, LSEG data showed. GAS PRICES FALL IN EUROPE AND ASIA European gas prices fell in July to $11.56 per million British thermal unit from $12.38 per mmBtu in June at the European benchmark Title Transfer Facility in the Netherlands, according to LSEG data. Even so, the softer prices were not enough to deter U.S. LNG exports to Europe, which remained the favored destination. Some 5.25 MT of LNG, or just under 58% of July's total, headed to Europe during July, slightly lower than the 5.53 MT, or 66%, sold in June, LSEG data showed. U.S. exports to Europe could increase in the coming years following a trade deal earlier this week in which the European Union promised to buy $750 billion of U.S. energy over a five-year period. In July, gas prices were also lower in Asia, as the benchmark Japan Korea Marker fell to $12.18 per mmBtu from $12.90 per mmBtu in June. Exports to Asia rose slightly during the month to 1.8 MT, or 20%, of U.S. LNG exports in July, compared to 1.56 MT, or 19%, in June as demand for energy for cooling grew, according to LSEG data. "After lackluster Asian LNG demand for much of 2025 so far, hotter July weather drove some improvement," bankers from Morgan Stanley told their clients in a report on Wednesday. US SELLS MORE LNG CLOSER TO HOME U.S. LNG exports to South America grew in July as the continent faced colder-than-normal seasonal weather. The U.S. sold 1.03 MT, or 11% of its total LNG exports, to Latin America, with cargoes going to Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Chile. Cargoes were also sold to several Caribbean countries, including Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Egypt continued to import U.S. LNG cargoes, buying eight in July, totaling .59 MT of the superchilled gas. There were also six cargoes with .43 MT of LNG that left U.S. ports in July with no clear destination, signaling they were available for orders. In July, Canada saw its first LNG shipment from a major plant, with the start-up of LNG Canada in Kitimat, British Columbia. That facility is the first North American plant with direct access to the Pacific Ocean and a shorter sail time to Asia. LNG Canada exported four cargoes, or .29 MT of LNG, during July, according to LSEG ship tracking data. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

ET Market Watch: Why Indian markets crashed - Trump tariffs & Rs 27,000 crore FII selloff explained
Transcript Hi, you're listening to ET Markets Radio. I'm your host, Neha Vashishth Mahajan. Welcome to a fresh episode of ET Market Watch, where we bring you the latest from the world of stock markets every single day. Let's get to it. Indian equity markets ended the week deep in the red. The Sensex slipped 586 points, while the Nifty closed below 24,570. But what exactly triggered this market meltdown? Let's break down the six key reasons: Reason 1: Trump's Tariff Bombshell U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a sweeping 25% tariff on Indian exports. Even though India avoided further penalties, the announcement rattled investors and revived trade war fears. Reason 2: Relentless FII Selling Foreign Institutional Investors have been dumping Indian stocks for 9 straight sessions. The total outflow? A massive ₹27,000 crore. On Thursday alone, they sold ₹5,589 crore. FIIs have also built a record 90% short positions — the most bearish setup since March 2023. Reason 3: Weak Global Cues Asian markets fell across the board — with indices in Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan all trading lower. The MSCI Asia ex-Japan index dropped 1.5%, while European markets and U.S. futures also showed weakness. Investors globally are turning risk-averse. Reason 4: Dollar Index Surge The U.S. dollar index climbed past 100, its highest in two months. This has intensified FII outflows and raised the cost of foreign borrowing for Indian corporates. Reason 5: Pharma Stocks Under Pressure The White House urged 17 major drugmakers, including Indian pharma giants, to cut U.S. prescription prices. Sun Pharma fell 4.5% after a downgrade, dragging down the entire Nifty Pharma index by 3.3%. Reason 6: Technical Breakdown From a technical standpoint, the Nifty broke below key support at 24,600. Analysts now see the next stop between 24,400 and 24,180. On the upside, 24,800 to 25,000 will act as a major hurdle. So what's the bottom line? A potent mix of trade tensions, relentless FII selling, and technical weakness is dragging the market lower. Experts advise caution and a hedged approach until clear reversal signals emerge. That's all from me today. This is Neha Vashishth Mahajan, and you've been listening to ET Markets Radio. Stay tuned and stay informed.
