Japan

Japan is the major insurance market in the Asian arena and contributes significantly to the QBE Re portfolio and results. With the removal of tariffs and liberalisation of insurance and financial markets, we saw a need to establish a local presence in Tokyo to enhance our contacts and promote our future development in this important territory.

QBE Re representative office in Tokyo is well established under Mr Kenji Kohara. Mr Kohara's extensive experience spanning over thirty years in the industry is invaluable to QBE Re's business in Japan.

The representative office handles both direct and broker business across the full range of Reinsurance classes in which QBE Re (Asia Pacific) specialises.
