The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has experienced improved insurance resilience across natural catastrophe, mortality and healthcare categories, according to Swiss Re and the London School of Economics. Their joint Macroeconomic Resilience Indices examined data from 2007 to 2018 and found advanced APAC countries scored almost 80% for insurance resilience against mortality risks, the highest global figure. In contrast, emerging APAC nations had the biggest protection gap, standing at $456bn, 62% of the $572bn regional total.
