Hi Pal,

I think that an insurance company may enter in risks in different currencies, specially when issue an open policy.
The insured amount in different currencies will be calculated, debited the prime in local currency and book the risk in foreign currency. If the currency has a very big volatility the insurance company may deal a currency option or a forward to reduce this risk.(IMHO THIS IS NOTIONAL ONLY)
Other comments appreciated
