In key to sustainable economic development, Dirk Reinhard, vice chair, Munich Re Foundation and chairman of the Steering Committee of the ICII 2022, said: “The major setbacks in the fight against poverty caused by the pandemic, the current economic crisis as well as climate change are a clear sign that we need to work harder to build more resilient societies. Affordable risk management including insurance is key for sustainable economic development.”

We are encouraged with the significant announcements made signaling international progress on Inclusive Insurance at this year’s ICII’s conference.
