The insurance sector has proven resilient throughout the past year’s events and is seeing a renewed demand for its products as the region begins to emerge from the pandemic. However, softer economic activity in several Asian markets compared to pre-crisis levels as well as a slower-than-expected vaccine rollout are likely to have weakened consumer affordability, while continued political tensions between China, the US and their respective allies remain a risk factor for operating in the region.
