The impact and market potential of microinsurance

In this IIL reinsurance lecture Joan Lamm-Tennant talked about an innovative business model, involving the collaboration of nine multinational insurance entities in developing a microinsurance market. Participants gained insights into the impact insurance can have on development and the potential premium volume of microinsurance.

Joan noted that while there have been microinsurance efforts to date, several barriers constrain the development of a microinsurance market. She outlined the Blue Marble collaborative approach which works with partners to extend socially impactful, commercially viable insurance protection to the underserved, advancing food security, financial inclusion and micro-entrepreneurship. The aim, she said, is to develop a microinsurance market that economically empowers the financially underserved.

By the end of this lecture members would have gained an insight into:

• The importance of changing how we do business through developing new business models and behaviours
• The role of insurance in economic development, particularly in emerging markets
• The market potential of microinsurance
