Description: Affordable (micro)insurance solutions play a decisive role in economic development. However, insurance solutions in emerging economies are often either too expensive or not available at all. A combination of a strategic national approach in the insurance industry, cooperation with governments as well as the use of modern technology can help cut costs significantly and develop affordable solutions creating value for customers. The session will discuss challenges and opportunities of inclusive insurance markets for the low-income sector.
