It highlights slowing global economic growth, stable solvency and profitability, and improved liquidity, with total assets reaching $42 trillion and liabilities $37 trillion by end-2024. Key themes include the impact of geoeconomic fragmentation on asset-liability management, insurers' growing exposure to private credit (offering diversification and illiquidity premiums but posing credit and valuation risks), and the early-stage adoption of AI, particularly generative AI, which introduces governance, cybersecurity, and bias challenges. Climate-related risks remain significant, with 22,46% of insurers' assets exposed, and NatCat events posing material solvency impacts despite strong reinsurance markets. The report also covers cyber risk trends, systemic risk scores (which declined slightly), and global reinsurance market developments, noting $1.75 trillion in gross premiums and stable combined ratios. Supervisory responses emphasize stress testing, enhanced governance, and international cooperation to ensure resilience and financial stability
