The last edition of The Actuary went to press on 26 September 2022, and what a month it’s been.
In an online exclusive, Richard Silveira’s exploration of the Bank of England’s future monetary policy couldn’t have come soon enough – you can read it at bit.ly/3TzowHx
As IFoA president Matt Saker alludes to in his column (p5), many actuaries are venturing outside of our traditional fields.
In this issue, Nick Spencer and Nico Aspinall, two members of Project New Horizon, set out ways in which the actuarial community can support our growth into new areas (p33).
In our technical features articles, we have a truly diversified and multi-disciplinary issue this month. We read about the potential impacts that climate change could have on mortality (p18), compare different technological options in insurance pricing (p34), apply a framework for understanding our exposure to geopolitical risks (p24) and, in the cover article, consider an approach to understanding price elasticity (p36). Finally, in the interview, Alex Martin asks Paul Dalziel what it means to take wellbeing into consideration in economic decision-making, both at a national level and at the level of individual businesses (p14).
I hope you enjoy this issue.
