Inclusive Insurance Regulation
We consider inclusive insurance regulation to be dedicated frameworks with a definition of microinsurance and/or inclusive insurance or its equivalent, whether by way of a single piece of legislation or combination of law and regulatory issuances.
- Microinsurance is insurance that is accessed by the low-income population (defined in the IAIS Issues Paper on the Regulation and Supervision of Microinsurance, 2007).
- Inclusive insurance is a broader term denoting all insurance products aimed at the excluded or underserved market; rather than just those aimed at the poor or a narrow conception of the low-income market (defined in the IAIS Conduct of Business in Inclusive Insurance Issues Paper, 2015).
Other supportive regulations
Regulations making insurance more accessible and inclusive, by allowing and promoting innovation, and helping to close the protection gap, such as: use of remote means, digital models, and e-signatures in insurance operations; mobile insurance; regulatory sandboxes; insurance against climate risks and disasters; index insurance; among other innovations and trends.
