TRÉBOL has arrived at its 50th edition. It is still a small number in the light of the long life that awaits our publication, but it is an important number for all of those who have put our efforts into it from the very beginning; and we want to celebrate it.

Nevertheless it cannot be a traditional celebration, one of those you have when you reach the end of the path. Because ours has only just began, and we can only think of growing into our future with better and wider contents and in gaining acceptance and loyalty from our readers, clients and colleagues from insurance and reinsurance world.

This is also the will and mandate of MAPFRE RE, the first interest of which has always been to deliver the highest quality of communication and services to its clients and markets.

During the years that TRÉBOL has been published, the insurance and reinsurance sector has gone through a constant process of change, spurred not only by the events caused by its own activity, but also – and probably foremost - by the recent evolution of the world’s social, economic and financial framework. The results of this are a context and a market, which differ radically from those that where in place in 1998.
