Country Diagnostics

Asia and Pacific

The core purpose of the Initiative is to trigger changes in the regulation and supervision of national insurance markets that will facilitate increases in the usage of voluntary insurance products by low income clients.

To achieve this purpose, knowledge generation and knowledge management are two core activities of the Initiative.  

The Initiative will generate knowledge on how the regulation and supervision of insurance markets can facilitate the extension of insurance services to low income consumers ( “access to insurance”); This is achieved by a series of country diagnostics on how the regulation and supervision of insurance markets are impacting the provision of microinsurance in selected countries, using a standardized methodology across all countries to ensure comparability;  

In this section you will find the country studies on Asian and Pacific.
