War risks transform maritime insurance into barrier to global trade

War risks transform maritime insurance into barrier to global trade

Historically, maritime insurance operated quietly in the background lika a modest line item ensuring that if a storm hit or a rare misfortune occurred, trade kept moving.

With Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan taking the next steps towards constitutional reform considered by many as necessary for the normalization of relations with Azerbaijan and fulfillment of promises made during the peace process, the issue now is not whether the Constitution will be amended, but how. Indeed, as plausible as the ongoing process may be, the current domestic dynamics say otherwise.
